My understanding of the square cube law, should it need to be corrected: The larger an animal is, the less skin (and therefore heat dissipating area) it will have for its size.
I read somewhere that animals of the same species tend to be larger in colder climates, so to my understanding, it should relate to elephants as well, but if that’s the case, how do they thrive in the heat where they live?
Thank you!
