A giraffe's 6-foot neck weighs about 600 pounds. A giraffe's heart is 2 feet long and weighs about 25 pounds. To get the blood up to the animals head its blood pressure is about 2.5 times that of a human
An adult giraffe eats up to 75lbs of foliage a day.

Elephants are the largest living land animals, A full-grown Asian elephant can weigh up to 6 tons and eats approximately 150-200 pounds of food and drinks 30-50 gallons of water every day. Both Asian and African elephants will walk 50 miles daily in search of food and water.
100 elephants will eat 20,000lbs of food per day
1,000 elephants can walk 50 miles a day and in the process consume 200,000 lbs of food and 50,000 gallons of water.


Question: how could the earth have provided sufficient food for creatures that weighed 38 tons and up and are believed to have existed in their hundreds of thousands? - creatures like the Apotasaurus the Brachiosaurus and their contemporaries during the late Jurassic Period the Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, Supersaurus, Seismosaurus and Barosaurus etc. ?

Question: How could creatures of this size have even existed at all?
Answer: they couldn’t.
Apatosaurus:
Length - 70-90 feet
Height - 10-15 feet
Weight - 33-38 tons
Length of neck – 40 feet.


Well, i'm no expert, but soo what how big they are, they existed, we have substantial evidence such as fossils. Also, if you think about it, the earth was covered in trees etc. so food wouldnt easily run out

I dont see why we are questioning how the dinosaurs could have existed. Theres proof. The fossils they left behind. Why question it when theres proof right in front of you. The earth was much more different back then.

simple, they were reptiles. if you check most of the reptiles out they don't need to eat as often as animals today ohmy.gif


Actually many people believe that the dinosaurs are more related to birds than reptiles, like the pubic bone of a raptor is turned up just like a bird, their short forelimbs made liftoff impossible, though they may be the evolutionary remnants of an ancient ancestor's flight-giving wings, there are many more, you should do your homework before following rumors and making assumptions.

Hey everybody,

It's nice to see interest in our little topic. It takes a little bit o' reading to know what it's about...
GUNNARYSEARGENTHARTMAN
Say, I wonder what peoples views and theories on how dinosaurs came to live and how they died? Please reply?

Thanks GUNNARYSEARGENTHARTMAN

This is what happened. It occured due to two flaws in today's acknowledged science.

1. Gravity does not exist as a force
Every atom expands in size at Universal atomic rate. This expansion causes the collective and overall expansion of Earth. Because we, as observers, are made of atoms we also grow at the same rate (approximately 1 millionth per second) so this expansion isn't obvious. Although atoms expand, the space between them does not expand and therefore you have a purely geometric effect of 'gravity', which is really the expansion of the Earth catching up to floating (not falling) objects in space. Because this isn't obvious, we interpret gravity as some type of magical force pulling all matter together as Newton did. The apparent "force" of gravity is therefore not dependant on the mass of an object, but it's size.

2. The Earth has been expanding relatively in size
Putting aside this absolute expansion of atoms, Earth has also been expanding relatively in size. In fact, geological evidence suggests Earth was half its size 100 million years ago. The rocks found at edges of the continental plates are much younger than rocks found towards the center of continents on land. The only explanation for this is that land is constantly being spewed out from the edges of the plates, slowly but surely increasing the Earth's size.

Since gravity is dependant on the Earth's size (which is changing) and not its mass (which is not changing) we can see that at the time of the dinosaurs, the geometric effect of gravity was significantly less than that of today, solving the mystery of megafauna. There are many resources found on these topics on the web if you want to learn more. It is extremely interesting. Have a nice day!

Welcome.

You really should quote some sources.

The rocks at the edges of the continental plates are constantly being "recycled".

Good point - as long as you assume that Dinosaurs held their heads up like a Giraffe does.

If you consider the possibility that the head was held level with the heart, then your theory is ruined.

You're right. I was trying to get the message out quickly, but I'll quote next time. There is an excellent book written on the subject by Mark McCutcheon called The Final Theory. I highly recommend it but you must have an open mind. It is very easy to be a critic especially when judging some of the claims made in the book.

Apoligies, I did not explain this well. I did see a video on YouTube regarding this and explained it extremely well. Search for "Expanding Earth" on YouTube. Thankyou for your reply, have a nice day.
