This came up for discussion during character creation for our Kingmaker game.
The players guides says that a Mastodon is a regional choice for a druid.
Okay, so we look up animal companion stats for a Mastadon - Starts off Medium then gets Large at 7th level. Then we look up at the Beastiary entry: Size: Huge
So when an animal companion's size is smaller than the Beastiary entry, when does it get it's final growth spurt?
I realize that only a few animals even need this question. (Crocodile being the only other I can recall off the top of my head. Starts Small, goes Medium. Beastiary: Large)
They have very long lifespans. Very long.
In fact, their lifespans are so very long that they don't grow up until long after you've reached the level where you have replaced them with T-Rexes and don't have to worry about juvenile mastodons anymore.
Animal companions do not follow the same rules as normal ones...your's is a runt, a powerful runt maybe but a runt one the less. No animal companion I know of goes over large size, including the t-rex. May be a feat that allows it in the AGP but as it stands they do not grow any larger then large.

Because its hard to fit a Huge sized animal companion into a dungeon, that's why. Now of course if your GM feels it's ok, or that the rule is silly and your druid or ranger player is ok with a companion that might not always be able to fit everywhere its master goes, go for it, I say.
