Relative Power & Metabolism • Heaviest flying bird = 25 pounds. • Heaviest bat = 2.5 pounds. • There are no modern day flying reptiles. • Reason: birds have greater relative power • 1) superior circulating respiratory system, • 2) higher body temperature.
Smaller Mammals have Greater Heat Lost • Small mammals have to eat constantly to replace their lost thermal energy. • A five ton elephant will eat about 130 kg of food per day • Five tons of mice will eat 720 kg of food per day.
