Auspex Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 ...The researcers point out that one especially large dino called Sauroposeidon proteles, which weighed close to 120,000 pounds as an adult, may have had a body temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit (48 degrees Celsius). Wow! That is perilously close to the point at which life-essential enzymes denature. How could a creature evolve to function that close to the edge?
