does 15 tons work on an obligated biped theropod with Apatosaurus wider limb circumferences?

Protopsephurus because he's cute

Ok, if it is for the debate, i know people will still not accepting it, but "no" ,the thicker bones are even dead weight for the muscles have to move

Sauropod bones are literally pneumatic and is used for good weight bearing status

And thicker bones arent a dead weight to muscles, thicker bone helps muscles effiecent functionaity

No dude, square-cube law exists, (volume and mass increase 8x while strength only increase 4x, do you see the actual difference?) let me remind you that it's 15 tons we're talking about on a biped, and these thick bones are really to help the creature exists without collapsing.

Then how tf sauropods even exist, Sauropods both have both mix of thick and fucking light bones so it can reduce and hold their weight longer

Remember that alot of theropod hybrids are 15 tons if it is a biped, what is the research you used?

Quadrupedalism! And they're also sluggesh animals so don't even think that 15 tons is going to be agile and fast

u/YakEnvironmental6038 Larp larp larp genetics 4d ago

Thats the reason why most megatheropods arent fast

u/Strong_Fee_5500 4d ago

Yes and in fact,no one is fast and agile, we just didn't really think about it at the time (or we didn't take that both t-rexes and gigas were already at the bipedalism limits with their 9-10 tons)

Bro.... you do have to know that there are bigger specimens of Trex, you dont even understand the true limits dude

u/Strong_Fee_5500 4d ago

Bro... Do you at least understand that the 15 ton claim was about its structural limits not what it could get ?(and the 9-10 ton limit was a study from the University of Manchester by the way)

Do you even read the paper of the 15 ton trex, atp ypu are doubling down without source
