Everyone loves dinosaurs, and TV programs and films about them are always popular, especially with children ... however we never really understand how big they truly were.
This picture, makes you realise just how truly massive these beasts were ..... one snap of the jaws, and the man on the ladder would simply be gone.
There are a number of theories about why they got so big. But its likely to be a combination of a much warmer earth, with higher CO2 levels, which allowed for fantastic plant growth, which in turn provided more Oxygen, a combination which meant plant eaters could grow bigger, and the meat eaters in turn were forced by evolutionary pressure to get bigger as their prey grew larger.
Oddly, the world is now warming up, plants will grow bigger and ......... well while we are here, nothing. But should we disappear, then who knows. Maybe the age of the dinosaurs is nearer than we think.
