"I like the artists conceptions of some of these fantasy animals. One Neanderthal had a nice long hair covered body."

Imagine the blood rush one of those dinosaurs with the 200 foot long neck must have got every time it bent down to take a bite of dino-grass.

They must have had terrible over eating problems as well, it could eat constantly for half a day before the first bite it took reached it's stomach.

Then, if it felt sick and had to barf, that would be some production.

They had large bodies, not because they needed large stomach and intestines to handle that barrage of food that finally began reaching it's stomach, but to hold those giant lungs. A dinosaur with a 200 foot neck would die from lack of oxegen if it didn't have extraordinary large lungs to get fersh air to them down that 200 foot long windpipe. If it was say 2 inches wide, the lungs would have to hold more than 400 cubic inches of air, at least 800 to get some fresh air into them. The rest of the body had to hold a massive multi chambered heart to pump all those gallons of blood under extreme preasures to it's pea-sized brian 200 feet up. It must have had arteries made of hydraulic hose material.

I wish I got a blood rush when I stooped over and not heartburn!

Which animal are you talking about with a 200’ neck?
