The head of a 30-50 ton brachiosaur could swallow a human whole (I have seen
the real skull in Berlin). To consume enough food to power a whale-like
metabolism (about one ton per day) would require eating about only 1 kilogram
per minute (these are very approximate values). 
 The mouth of a 11 tonne Diplodocus was broader than that of an 11 tonne
indricothere (I have taken the measurements).
