Ark Sizes Compiled
Just a premise of the methodolgy I used.
All creatures were vanilla variants, the foundations used were Tek because they allow for much greater precision for measuring, only creatures rideable on land were measured, measurements were calculated in metric with the full length of a foundation being 3 metres(converted to the bygone Imperial system afterwards for 'muricans), I will be updating with fliers(such as Wyvern, Griffin, etc) & Bosses/Alphas shortly, lastly all measurements are in horizontal length,(certain things like Rock Elementals may seem confoundingly small but that is because they are much taller than they are long)

If you want to verify how many foundations something turned out to be in length, simply take Xm and divide it by 3. I've placed them all in order from biggest to smallest.

{124.5m/408ft}
#1 Titanosaur

{55.5m/182ft}
#2 Brontosaurus

{45m/~148ft}
#3 Giganotosaurus

{40.5m/~133ft}
#4 Diplodocus

{27m/~89ft}
#5 Spinosaurus

{22.5m/~74ft}
Tyrannosaurus

{18m/59ft}
Yutyrannus

{16.5/54ft}
Morellatops
Sarcosuchus

{15m/49ft}
Allosaurus
Stegosaurus

{12m/39ft}
Mammuthus steincaput(Wooly Mammoth)
Megalosaurus
Paraceratherium

{10.5m/34ft}
Carnotaurus
Megatherium

{9m/~30ft}
Arthropleura
Baryonyx
Coeladonta utilisero(Wooly Rhino)
Colossus petram(Rock Elemental)
Megalania
Moloch sagittarius(Horny Dragon)
Therizinosaurus
Triceratops

{8.25m/27ft}
Iguanodon
Pachyrhinosaurus

{7.5m/~25ft}
Gallimimus
Kaprosuchus
Parasaurolophus

{6.75m/22ft}
Thylacoleo

{6m/19.7ft}
Ankylosaurus
Procoptodon

{5.25m/17ft}
Carbonemys

{4.5m/~15ft}
Chalicotherium
Doedicurus
Utahraptor

{3.75m/12ft}
Canis maxdirus(Direwolf)
Casteroides
Daeodon
Empusa disciplus(Mantis)
Pachycephalosaurus
Phiomia
Smilodon(Sabertooth)

{3m/~10ft}
Arctodus(Dire Bear)
Equus
Megaloceros
Phorushracos(Terror Bird)
Pulmonoscorpius

{2.25m/~7.5ft}
Araneomorphus(Spider)
Beelzebuffo

{1.5m/~5ft}
Gigantopithecus(Bigfoot)
Ovis aries(Sheep)

Some of the above numbers might seem hard to visualize. So here are a few comparisons.
-The ARK Titanosaur, if it were in the real world, would be the biggest living thing, seizing that title from the California Redwood!
-The ARK Brontosaurus is about as long as the Leaning Tower of Pisa is tall.
-The ARK Megalosaurus is about the same size as the actual Tyrannosaurus rex was irl.
I made this for fun as it was something that always nagged at my mind... how big are the creatures in Ark? Maybe this will inspire a modder, who knows.
