They are quite big!
Is there anyone disagreeng?
NO!
They are also quite pretty.

They are not as big as a whale now are they

now you might think that a whale is bigger than an elephanty, but I must inform you that it is just an optical illusion. Now as you know things look bigger under water than they really are. So when you are looking at whale, under water, it just an optical illusion.
Therefore, Whales are small, Elephants are big, so Elephants are better than whales.

So an elephant would be huge if you put him under water?

Yes, oh little one! It would be even bigger than it is! Imagine BIG if you please! It shall be sooo much bigger than that.

some prehistoric animals were bigger

How do you know?
Where you there?
No!
So you are wrong.

I've seen the skeletons, they are BIG, how do you explain that one?

beware! Do not be fooled by such fickle objects.
I hate to be the one of those people out there with the conspiricy theories, but on this one I must say you have been fooled my crunchy friend. There are no such things! So, please remember: elephant-> good. Nothing else matters. There shall be no more talk of this!!!
Now please read "Drinks, sugar, grenaden, and all things sweet and sexy."
