Side by side figures portrait landscape

Question

I am trying to include two figures one is of portrait kind (tall) and other landscape (wide) kind. I am using the code as below

\documentclass[11pt]{scrbook}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{minipage}[h]{0.4\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[height=\linewidth]{honda_asimo.jpg}
    \caption{Asimo}
    \label{fig:minipage1}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{0.005\textwidth}
\begin{minipage}[h]{0.4\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[height=\linewidth]{BigDog.jpg}
    \caption{Big Dog}
    \label{fig:minipage2}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

The result goes:

I want it to just extend to cover the horizontal space which is available to text above(so excluding margins) and want the captions to be centered under the figures.

You can use the addmargin environment provied by package scrextend to help you.

\documentclass[11pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{showframe}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]
    \begin{addmargin*}[0cm]{-3cm}
    \begin{minipage}{0.35\linewidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=7cm]{example-image-golden-upright}
        \caption{Asimo}
        \label{fig:minipage1}
    \end{minipage}\hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.65\linewidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=7cm]{example-image-golden}
        \caption{Big Dog}
        \label{fig:minipage2}
    \end{minipage}
\end{addmargin*}
\end{figure}
\clearpage
\begin{figure}[ht]
    \begin{addmargin*}[0cm]{-3cm}
    \begin{minipage}{0.35\linewidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=7cm]{example-image-golden-upright}
        \caption{Asimo}
        \label{fig:minipagea}
    \end{minipage}\hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.65\linewidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[height=7cm]{example-image-golden}
        \caption{Big Dog}
        \label{fig:minipageb}
    \end{minipage}
\end{addmargin*}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
