Re: new Godzilla 2014-biomechanical problems?
The tallest sauropods very likely represent the limitation in height due to
circulatory pressure problems as others have noted. And may well be the
largest in tonnage (maybe 80-100) due to motive power and resource exploitation
limitations (if individuals get to big a sufficient adult population to
survive and reproduce over extended time cannot be sustained on a continent).
But making such claims is always tricky, there used to be calculations
showing that fliers cannot be bigger than Pteranodon.
