WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? Long before human beings ever existed, the most dominant creatures ever to live in the Earth were the dinosaurs. From polar areas to arid deserts, they literally lived everywhere, with a vast variety of species and adaptations. One of the most attractive features about the dinosaurs, however, was the size of them. Some dinosaurs could be longer than 20 meters in length, such as brachiosaurs and sauropods. So what allowed them to grow up to hundreds of tons and even maintain it without starving? Why would they ever grow so large? Here, this report will discuss the answers of these questions. CURRENT RESEARCH Current research tells me what kind of traits made it possible for dinosaurs to grow so enormous, and also theories on why they had to grow so big.
