I think science is interesting enough in its own right that you don't need to oversell it. It is not a 'massive creature', but it's fascinating nonetheless when explained in context and without the clickbaity headline.
- loonster 5y agoMassive for its time. Average creature being a pinky finger (why didn't they just say a number), so about 5 cm. Half meter is 10x that. Something 10x bigger than me is not a giant, it's a titan.
- robbedpeter 5y agoMoose make a great learning experience to demonstrate scale. They're goddamn huge. Nobody expects moose hugeness. Compared to the average size of creatures of the time, then, this thing would be like the biggest ever moose to us.
