Re: Heterothermy in elephants: Sauropods too?
Why gol darn and heck, I've been pointing out that them there
tachyenergetic sauropods didn't have to worry none about overheating because
they could
use their massive mass to story body heat in the day and dump it at night by
letting there body temperatures fluctuate tween night and day since way back
in the last century. Pretty obvious actually.
