Good news!

Michael Moore is still the heaviest land creature ever to walk the face of the earth.

Jeez, how many years in college and loads ‘o’ dough to say, “Dinosaurs were pretty darn big!’’.

Uh, would it not make MORE sense to WEIGH the reindeer, polar bears, giraffes and elephants? and then calculate the skeletal ratios and apply that to dinosaurs? This approach seems to mean that all dinosaurs would have to look like Twiggy!

The studies concluded that the dinosaurs were usually completely covered with skin despite gaining weight from time to time. Top researchers have suggested these animals be called Dermosaurs.
