On the contrary, for apex predators, smaller populations are easier to sustain than large populations. Especially apex predators of that size.

- chrisco255 6y agoYeah but the prey was even bigger. Have you seen brontos? Everything was bigger in that era, including plants and trees.
- antisthenes 6y agoNot sure what your comment has to do with mine. That doesn't mean the total available biomass to predators in aggregate was larger or smaller, just because some big dinosaurs existed. It doesn't even mean T-rex hunted brontosaurus frequently or at all (given the somewhat different eras), much like the modern lions don't really hunt adult elephants.
