After the extinction of the dinosaurs mammals grew in size exponentially to fill their habitats.
Mammals grew so large within 25 million years in fact that some of them dwarved even elephants and mammoths - Indricotherium for instance was 18ft tall, 40ft long and weighed up to 20 tonnes. They just needed some leg room: New research shows the great dinosaur die-off made way for mammals to explode in size — some more massive than several elephants put together.
