Assignment #6:

One of the largest animals (if not the largest of all) that has ever walked this Earth has been called Patagotitan: A sauropod found in Argentina. Why was it so big? How can an animal so big survive with enough food and with carnivorous predators around? What did it eat? How did it move? The enormous size of this animal was such that scientists are puzzled at its physiology and its mechanics (movement) – the animal might as well be an impossible creature to exist. If you were able to travel to the past and saw Patagotitan, you were probably seeing the pinnacle of animal gigantism – a natural evolutionary experiment that probably lived only once on this Earth. Investigate about Patagotitan and write an essay about it. The questions provided above are to motivate you to investigate about this topic; you do not need to answer them one by one. The essay must be at least three paragraphs long, and each paragraph must contain at least five sentences (you can write more than three paragraphs and more than five sentences per paragraph if you wish to do so). The content of your essay must be written entirely in your OWN words. Use in-text citations in parenthesis, APA style, if you paraphrase information from other authors.
