Correction: the heaviest living creature is actually YO MAMA. OH

“Godzilla weighs 90, 000 tons!”

I may be called a nerd for knowing all of this but i will back up Godzilla. Godzilla does not require calories to power his body he is literally a living battery that runs off of radiation. He dwells deep in the ocean so he can absorb the earths natural radiation. Now onto his size. If godzilla was originally a small animal that grew to that size you would be correct. But Godzilla's species has always been that big. His bones and the rest of his body was designed by nature to be both a land/water based animal.

Imagination: *exists*

Science: I’m bouta end this mans whole career

[revampedharpy]

acctually he MIGHT be able to stand, if his bones are made out of something MUCH stronger than ours. also he could get past the blood problem by having multiple hearts. but thats about all i can think off.

[MeepChangeling]

Every time people are like "Big things cant exist cuz bones would crumble." I sigh and wonder why they assume that the creature's bone structure would be anything like that of a smaller creatures. if evolution produced a creature that big, it would be perfectly fine at that size. It's how evolution works.

Godzilla ended up going to a cave where he ended up resting for years. Thts how he survived all those years. And ended up restoring all his energy from his last fight

[zaydenfoote]

But I’m positive the radiation will make his bone stronger

[randomjunk]

he doesn't "eat" in a traditional sense....he absorbs nuclear radiation and energy

[MrDIAMONDBOY]

LOOK OUT GODZILLA'S COMING OUT OF THE Oh wait.. wait... ok he's sinking into the ground now.

[JRSportBrief]

If the Ninja turtles can exist, so can Godzilla. Problem solved.

[notgonnapay]

Godzilla needs calories to sustain itself now?
Have you never even laid eyes on a Godzilla film?
Excellent research.

[bappojujubes]

Are you comparing Godzilla's bones and body to a teeny, tiny human?

[fumeultraarchie]

Wanna know the answer?

Watch Shin Godzilla (2016). There you go.

Well if Godzilla was actual creature. Nature has the tendency to do the impossible. For instance trees like redwoods measure nearly 200 ft tall in height. There are the sequoia trees also in California they are over 300ft . So why can't Godzilla's bones be as dense as those trees?
And there were dinosaurs that stood over 50ft tall and were over the size of a blue whale. They had secondary hearts pumping blood up to their heads.
However since the original Godzilla was based on the Japanese Dragon god of the sea Ryujin or the Japanese sea monster the Wani. It's possible he is actually a supernatural being. Since he is referred to as a god or titan in the new movie Godzilla 2 king of the monsters

[GodzillaTheDestroyer]

Dot forget Godzilla has an extremely big heart and his bones must be incredibly strong enough to support the amount of weight possibly more

[michaeltclinton]

Godzilla has a massive heart full of love he just needs someone to give it to😊

[thekingofthemonsters]

But within the fictional world of kaiju, Godzilla does have adaptations that allow him to survive. His bones are extremely dense and virtually unbreakable. He metabolizes radiation, which is everywhere in small amounts. His heart is a nuclear reactor, which provides enough power to pump blood throughout his body quick enough and containing enough energy. He also has a secondary "brain" located near his hip, which is just a bundle of nerve tissue that relays sensory information to his lower body quicker and controls all lower body nerve function.
