A fully grown adult.
Purely due to toys from my past (and 8 year old boys and parents are rather lax about scale) I had always assumed they were as big as a school bus. Then I downgraded them to a large elephant.
So how big were they? A "realistic" photo of a man alongside one would be I instructive. |

I thought they were smaller actually but:

About the size of a rhinoceros or slighty larger. Smaller than an elephant. |

Depends upon the exact species, but generally as tall as an elephant but much longer |

link TMP's image insert is still hit or miss. This is a triceratops compared to assorted heffalumps. |

1 1/2 times the size of a biceratops. |

Big enough to mount a Gatling gun on its back. |

I like the way you think.
Did your kids have Dino-Riders? |

Are they still quick-killed by psiloi? |

Five and a half feet long. At least the inflatable one we have on sale at work is that long and it says Real size 5.5 feet" on the box. |
