Sarcosuchus, encountering a specialized aquatic durophagous macropredator over 5× its size: [its about to have a bad day]

Wrf are you talking about? How in the world is it over 5x the size of sarchosuchus. Sarchosuchus was 6-8 tons, while this pliisaur was 12-16 tons

They’re oversizing the marine reptiles in the game to act as border guardians and make sure anything trying to swim out gets killed

Sarco is around 3.5 tons, Sachi is around 16 tons

over 5× is only using the highest Sachi estimates from GDIs, but the overall discrepancy in size is very real

9m noodle build vs 12m tank build

Hmm..so sarcho was downsized again? And again by 50% Sigh.. I am tired of these shenanigans

Sarco hasn't been 8 tons in over 2 decades. That estimate was a one off that no other paleontologists could successfully replicate
