A lot may be deduced from bones but as you point out, we need the soft tissue to be sure. What is generally meant by cold bloodied is that such animals are unable to regulate their temperature by physiological means, eg, sweating. An animal the size of a brontosaurus will certainly have been...

Proper talent!

I have a busy day so can't get too involved, but I might point out that the same hydrostatic problems would have been encountered by such dinosaurs as those of the brontosaurus family. If we assume that nature had developed a similar cardiovascular system to cope with these internal stresses...

It's all about hydrostatic pressure. The head of a giraffe is between 5 - 6m above the ground, as it swings down all that blood in the neck suddenly rushes for the head greatly increasing the pressure within the skull. What adaptions are there to prevent the head going pop?

Well my kids call me dad, not that it means much nowadays.

If that is what you believe then good, you at least have found an answer.

You'll find the answer in my OP. If you don't see that then go and do some learning.

You need to go back and look at what was being said before you dig your hole any deeper.

Do you not realise what a stupendous idiot you are making of yourself by posting that?

Zzzzz.......

You missed a lot, including a brain when they were being handed out.

:ROFLMAO:

You are a knobhead.

Sigh..... If you had understood my original post and had even the merest acquaintance with engineering principles you wouldn't need to ask questions that simply make you look stupid.

Aye, I actually put the answer in the post but he still doesn't understand. He is a complete and utter knobhead.

You are one great thicko.

Not very bright are you, I even mentioned the answer in the post. Now stop being such an offensive little twat and go look again.

I'd be scrambling to keep up with you on that front.

The neck of the Giraffe is a pertinent example, how is it that the head doesn't explode when lowered for drinking? The blood pressure experiences an incredible boost when it does. As one Oxford professor of chemistry once put it - Plastics are made by fools like me, but only God* can make a...

Over the last few years I've come to realise that there is probably as much 'belief' and adherence to a 'truth' in science as there is in religion. It's shattered many illusions.
