, I decided to repurpose a drawing of a hand I did many years ago and added the live/dead leaf burning with RH high/low RH scenarios to add to my project. Guessed at flames- could be better with observed examples. May add text about what is happening.

How long did it take a 🦕 to grow up? FAST! A baby Diplodocus grew to ~20 ft long within 4 years, ~60 ft in its teens, & by its late 20s as a <100 ft adult. But they didn't just get big fast - many parts of their skeleton underwent extreme shape change through growth!

Why did 🦕 get so big? Anti-predation, a larger gut for storing & digesting lots of 🌿), & increased surface area are some of the ideas. A big gut was likely the initial driver, but the extremes of the 🦕 likely represents a complex interplay of evolutionary innovations.
