Mammals, like politicians, get big and fat when they don't have to work for their food.

All of them are some of my favorites - elephants, whales and hippos plus rhinos too.

Theodor says as well as confirming the dramatic growth in mammalian size after the dinosaurs, the study shows that the ecosystem is able to reset itself relatively quickly. "You lose dinosaurs 65 million years ago, and within 25 million years the system is reset to a new maximum for the animals that are there in terms of body size. That's actually a pretty short time frame, geologically speaking," she says. "That's really rapid evolution." Yet we are told that humans have a distinct BMI that must be maintained. Gettin' bigger isn't in that equation and men and women must be the exact same size.

The speed at which the average American has grown in size in the past 50 years, it won't take 25 million years before we're the size of dinosaurs.

That was hilarious! Fiction based on fiction. Wooh, those scientists keeping us entertained. Can I have grant to study the effect of incorrect presuppositions on the results of a study from a prestigious journal of science?

"The largest land mammals that ever lived, Indricotherium and Deinotherium, would have towered over the living African elephant. The tallest on diagram, Indricotherium, an extinct rhino relative, lived during the Eocene to the Oligocene Epoch (37 to 23 million years ago) and reached a mass of 15,000 kg, while Deinotherium (an extinct proboscidean, related to modern elephants) was around from the late-Miocene until the early Pleistocene (8.5 to 2.7 million years ago) and weighed as much as 17,000 Courtesy of Alison Boyer/Yale University Researchers demonstrate that the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago made way for mammals to get bigger about a thousand times bigger than they had been."
Is it me or is something @$$ backward here. The modern elephant silhouette is SMALLER than that of the ancients'. Similarly, modern rino's are smaller than their predecessors.
