"What I present here is all of the real-life animals represented in ARK survival evolved, all in a single image together with their accurate real-life sizes (in metric cause universal measurement). I was hoping that this would provide a perspective of how different a lot of ARK's species are from their real-life counterparts. Animals from ARK Additions are also included because they are literally developer-quality.

I know it looks like chicken-scratch at first glance, but click on the image and you'll be able to zoom in!

The animals are split based on scientific groupings (except for largely aquatic species). Each animal has its name and size listed, along with a "Sc." which is to give credit to the artists that I got these accurate silhouettes from. Shoutout to them!

This chart only includes animals with real-life counterparts. So animals without a counterpart and more just generically represent their family (Titanosaur, Terror Bird) or are just straight-up fictional (wyverns and most of the giant bugs) aren't included.

If there are any questions/doubts I'll be happy to address them, and provide sources if needed. Surprising I know, but a lot of the sizes given on wikipedia/google aren't correct, and the sizes given here come from more scientific/researched places."
