Why are sea mammals so large? It’s to keep the heat in and minimize heat loss at sea, much more of a challenge than on land. Not because the sea frees them of the constraints of land life to grow bigger, but because it imposes new ones.
Whales are only the absolute biggest because they have the ability to travel long distance and find highly concentrated food deposits.
