About this mod

This mod is compatilble with GameVideosForLife's Siats and they do like each other when sharing the same habitat.
The holotype specimen, FMNH PR 2716, consists of material from a single individual that is considered skeletally immature on the basis of the incomplete fusion of neural arches to the centra of the dorsal vertebrae.
Siats represents one of the largest known theropods from its place and time. Zanno and Mackovicky (2013), using a femur circumference regression, estimated its mass at roughly 4 metric tons (4.4 short tons). The authors also wrote that the holotype specimen was already comparable in size to Saurophaganax and Acrocanthosaurus despite the visible neurocentral sutures showing absence of ossification, suggesting a skeletally immature individual. In 2019, its maximum adult size was estimated up to 11.34 m (37.2 ft) in length and 4.7 t (5.2 short tons) in body mass.
