That’s odd. I thought reduced food supply resulted in dwarfism like the tiny Wrangler island mammoths.
“According to Kleiber’s law,[16] the larger an animal gets, the more efficient its metabolism becomes; i.e., an animal’s basal metabolic rate scales to roughly the ¾ power of its mass. Under conditions of limited food supply, this may provide additional benefit to large size.”
