The Problem With Mega Fauna

Some scientists have identified a serious problem with the larger Mega
Fauna (mega fauna are animals weighing more than 100 pounds). From
what we know about gravity and muscle strength, the bird with the 30
ft wingspan for example should not have been able to get off the
ground.

Yet, it was not a flightless bird. Another animal that could fly, the
Pteradactyl and its cousins had wingspreads of up to nearly 60 feet.
Although the wings folded, what did they do with them while on the
ground?

The very largest birds today who weigh just a fraction of what that
bird weighed, and they get into the air with some difficulty. Other
animals, particularly the very large dinosaurs should have had quite a
bit of trouble moving those vast amounts of weight around.

The larger elephants living today seem to be almost at the extreme of
supportable body weight versus muscle strength, yet many of the
dinosaurs weighed many times more.

The Hornless rhino, pictured above was almost eighteen feet high and
27 feet long. It was probably by far the biggest mammal ever. How did
its legs support that kind of weight? How could an animal that big be
strong enough to get up once it had laid down?

I'm not endorsing his solution to this problem, but some interesting
ideas have been put forth in; The Attenuated Gravity of the Antique
System, by Ted Holden

Hey, look, everybody! It's the felt effect of gravity!

Reduced.

Redefined.

We are talking about Backspace.
