Perhaps you were thinking of _Brontosaurus_, but nobody has claimed that Brontosaurus could fly. so we were never a Flintstone civilization back like a million years ago? haha flying are prohibitive ! Why? As organsisms increase in size, the cross-section, and thus the load-bearing capacity, of body parts increases with the square of the size increase, whereas the mass increases with its cube. A physicist should know that, Pointy Head. Much smaller Taradactiles ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pardon? Pterodactyl, dummy. were really stretching the envelope ! Why? 'Coz they were big, dummy. There is no proof that a brontosaurus ever existed. People in that field make up stuff just like NASA with underground oceans a billions of earth. |
