Dinosaurs and the reduced felt effect of gravity

here's a re-post of my off-topic post from bird evolution. i'd like to add this picture, which is the aforementioned barosaurus/allosaurus display at the american museum of natural history. i'd like to point out that not only does this dinosaur hold the current record for longest neck, but this particular skeleton also holds the record for tallest free-standing dinosaur skeleton.that's right, no cables.

This model (sculpted by Joe Taylor) of a giant human femur (leg bone) is a popular exhibit. The sculpture is mounted over a drawing to scale to show how large this person was.
