<< <<<<<        Even so, endothermy would have been expensive.  I don't see

 reason to think that Mesozoic forage and browse was any more nutritious
 (compared to meat) than nowadays.  An endothermic animal the size of a
 C-130 Hercules (not Galaxy as I said earlier)  would have to tuck into a
 godawful lot of cycads daily.

Perhaps there is some sort of middle ground?  Something that big would be a
very nice heat reservoir.  Perhaps only a low level of endothermy would have
been needed to maintain the internal temperature?
