Tom:
One species of whale eats eat giant squid (Sperm or blue whale?). I suspect
they have large bones. Don't forget the carnivorous killer whale, also.

Prehistoric bears and lions were carnivores and larger than buffalo and
gorillas of today. (Polar bears are carnivores and outweigh gorillas.)

Lastly, gorillas are not strict vegetarians. Lowland gorillas consume
large amounts of insects, mountain gorillas consume smaller amounts.
