Blue whales in DF are actually too small. The Puertasaurus is estimated at about 80 metric tons, or about 80 000 000 cc/size units/grams. Blue whales are about 420 thousand pounds, or 190 metric tons, or about 190 000 000 cc/size units.

(All living things are made of water blah blah ignore density/pneumatic skeletons/lungs)

This might be for balance reasons, because the DF combat mechanics get kind of silly with that kind of size differential, but cmon. Combat with a creature that can easily fit you inside its blood vessels is never going to make any kind of sense. Its skin is thicker than your weapons. You don't stab a blue whale, you excavate.

It's fairly likely to be a scaling issue- if I remember correctly, I based it around the size of smaller land animals like sheep or elephants. It was quite a while ago now.

And once again, I think I've found my perfect sig.

Does anyone have a proper master lost of the species of dinosaurs that are in this mod? I've looked through the thread, and feel I might have missed it somewheres. Just curious as to the full current listing.
