FE: Robbie Wilson interviews David Wilkinson on why sauropod dinosaurs were so large
b'The long necked sauropod dinosaurs were the largest land animals ever to walk the Earth \\u2013 but why were they so large? One possibility is that it somehow involved the nature of the plant food they eat, as David Wilkinson (co-author of the paper "High C:N ratio (not low-energy content) of vegetation may have driven gigantism in sauropod dinosaurs and perhaps omnivory and/or endothermy in their juveniles." David M Wilkinson & Graeme D Ruxton 2012) explains in this interview with Robbie Wilson.\\nWilkinson, D. M., Ruxton, G. D.
