Explain Dinosaurs. How could they get so large?
Fossils exist to indicate that they did, indeed get very big.

      Insects have tiny legs proportional to their bodies. Large creatures like dinosaurs or even elephants have thick tree trunk like legs. The reason is they need to support more mass per unit area.

          kinda like balsa wood?
          Are skyscrapers made from balsa wood?
          How bout someone with the 'math' figure the required strength (compressive, tensile and shear) that their bones would have to be to support the supposed body weight of the large dinosaurs.
