Dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago can have a very large body. Then why dinosaurs can be so big?

Secret body of dinosaurs are reptiles use this energy for growth. Reptiles are also not using energy to heat the body, compared to other creatures.

Scientists create models to explain how dinosaurs such as the long-necked sauropods may have up to 60 tons weight. Weight is about eight times heavier African elephant, the animals most at the moment.

Main factors that cause the size of a vertebrata is the availability of food and how animals use the energy, said researcher Brian K McNab, paleontologist at the University of Florida.

For example a big elephant can eat grass because of the relatively more available, as compared to a flower essence is consumed by birds or bees.
