Fascinating information!
Sauropods (Brontosaurus types) were able to grow so large because:
1. Long necks allowed them to reach new sources of food while not moving the rest of their bodies.
2. They had fast metabolism and growth rates.
3. Their efficient lungs allowed them to extract oxygen on inhale and exhale like birds do today.
4. Air sacs in bones made their huge skeletons fairly light and
5. cooled them down.
