The Largest Animals Ever Duke It Out (Blue Whale vs Perucetus Colossus)

[JustANormalLemon]

I'm actually going to need to make a correction here.

"

• Although they appear fat, manatees are very lean animals comprised mainly of muscle. This is why they can't survive in cold oceans.

"

Some Real World animals like even the hippo with context, have been stated to have muscle for their fatty appearance. The fattest people have literal health and mobility problems and I find it even more liable that animals on the size of whales and hippos having mostly fat for their bodies. Like, how are they going to do the superhuman strength feats they're able to do?

Blue Whales can reach up to 250 tons. Meanwhile, studies have debunked claims of a 340 ton Perucetus, instead scaling them to Manatees scales them to 60-70 tons, Making them weigh 110 tons at best. If anything, Blue Whales are easily the only animals IRL capable of Small Building feats.

I'm well aware of that; I literally grabbed that article for the Blue Whale GBE calc and the Real World Discussion thread (also, the weight range is 60-114 tonnes, which is 66.1 to 125.7 tons)

Average weight yes, but the paper is only less than 1 year old, so a 250 ton Blue Whale isn't wrong either.
