Dinosaur Files - Do you think that creatures bigger than dinosaurs could exist somewhere? On another planet?

Do you think that creatures bigger than dinosaurs could exist somewhere? On another planet?

I think it's awesome to picture actual dinosaurs.....makes me wonder how big creatures can get. Can you imagine beings 3 times their size, might be roaming around on some other planet? (keep in mind Alby Einstein : Imagination is more important than knowledge ;-))) Yes, another solar system. Why does "other planet" automatically imply in OUR solar system? of course an exoplanet.......

maybe you never know
No. No oxygen
Planet X
i say in another solar system because in the planets we have there is no oxygen so they could not survive unless they are way smartter than us
i don't know,it's hard to imagine for me.you are right tho imagination is good,sounds like you have enuf for the both of us,so how about you do that.i know there have been plenty of movies done like that but if you have a good imagination and something in mind,why don't you try to take it somewhere and make something of it? make yourself a little money doing something with your mind.maybe kids books.never hurts to try ya know.good luck with it if ya do.there will always be kids to! p.s. and kids have imaginations you can build on/up.
Maybe on another planet, definetly not earth, but I am sure somewhere out there in the universe things exist now like that.
I believe so, our universe is too big to rule something that like out
of course there could be! we can't be the only living creatures in this whole universe so why wouldn't there be some really big ones!
Of course, there are billions of possible planets, with many different environments. Let your imagination run wild; lower gravity, increased radiation, different atmosphere, all could factor into the development of super sized creatures
Yeah, it could be something that big out there somewhere... But for us to find them... we'd have to be very lucky and also able to travel outside our Solar System. :)
Yes maybe EARTH there are animals bigger! Blue whales are bigger than ANY dinosaur that ever exsisted!!
Blue Wales, are the largest animal that has ever lived. An adult is typically twice as large as the biggest dinosaur. Their heart is about the size of a Mini Cooper, have a brain as big as a watermelon, their tounge alone is as big as an elephant. Strangely enough, they only eat tiny shrimp, squid, and small fish.
Sure. Just look at whales on earth. If there is another huge waterworld out there life in it oceans could be much much bigger than dinosaurs and whales. As for creatures living on land size is a matter of necessity and a function of gravity. On a world with terrestrial gravity it takes huge amounts of energy to be big and move around. The only advantage to size is in that it is a defence against predators. And so the predators get bigger and bigger, that evolutionary tug of war. But eventually size is too resource demanding and everything about living is difficult. Just consider mating when you are a Bracciosaurus... On a world with less than terrestrial gravity evolution wouldn´t have to come up with such haphazard sollutions like hollow bones to keep the weight down (consider the skull of the T-Rex). Things could get even bigger than dinosarus and it wouldn´t be a disadvantage. But a world with less gravity would constantly be in danger though. It couldn´t be much lighter than earth or it, like Mars, wouldn´t be able to hold onto its own atmosphere. Venus is lighter than earth and can hold onto its atmosphere so where the sweetspot is is hard to say exactly.
Sure as long as the gravity conditions were suited to such a species development and they had enough room to grow to that size, I don't see why not.
...somebody famous once said, everything you can imagine, is existing somewhere... So, I´m pretty sure, such creatures are living somewhere. Anyhow, nothing is impossible. Mr. Einstein´s statement is right, it´s very important never to loose you ability to imagine... For example, take the movie "Horton hears a Who", what if our world is as small as the world he discovers, and there´s a world so much bigger than ours...you know, just like in the movie.
yeah. out of all the planets out there, i cant imagine that we are the only planet with life or gigantic creatures.
