[QUOTE="PaulaJedi, post: 120667, member: 4272"] TP, I found a scientific explanation with math proof that you are indeed correct. [URL='https://www.quora.com/Does-a-bigger-planet-command-bigger-sized-life-forms-Or-smaller-ones']Does a bigger planet command bigger sized life forms? Or smaller ones? - Quora[/URL] Gravity sort of compresses, making things denser and compact. Creatures born in less gravity are more capable of supporting themselves, so they can be bigger. This article emphasizes the density of a planet rather than the size of it. Denser = higher gravitation pull. At least this is what I'm gathering by my skim reading. hehe. [I]"Assuming that dinosaurs were near the upper limit, we'd guess that if you went to a planet that had 10 times the gravity, the largest species would be 1/10th the size.
