Why Aren't Mammals getting bigger than they are?
I would definitely like to know more about the possibilities of extremely large mammals.
How did they manage to get so much bigger than animals that walk the land today?
Matthew Carrano(His Link Here), Museum of Natural History's Dinosauria, states:
It's not clear how oxygen relates to size evolution, but that's one hypothesis out there. I tend to think that evolution takes advantage of opportunity until some sort of limit is reached, and dinosaurs had different limits than modern mammals. In fact, I'd say the real question is why mammals (at least on land) are so small.
One thought is that dinosaurs laid eggs and so did not have any problems reproducing even at huge sizes. So population crises could be overcome simply by laying more eggs. Mammals have a terrible time because at large sizes they can only make one or two young every one or two years. If something goes wrong (diseases, etc.), it takes a long time for the population to recover. So mammals are constrained from being very big in a way that dinosaurs weren't.

"I think there will be more Lost."
FACTS:
- co-creator Damon Lindelof told E! News, "I think there will be more Lost."
2. Will the next plane-crash-on-an-island show be more coherent? Do showrunners secretly wish they'd actually explained half the things they put on screen? Not according to Cuse: "I feel like there's not a moment where I certainly say, 'Oh, hey, I wish we had told this story' or 'I regret that we didn't get to do this or that,'" he told EW.
3."We put so much energy into ending it," Lindelof said, "that to put energy into kickstarting it again" would be a bit much.
