the gravity pull of 2 moons would have made them bigger than annimals now ??

Yes, that's definitely why dinosaurs were so big -- another moon pulling on them! Why haven't all these smart scientists thought of such an obvious answer? And I'll bet that second moon crashed into the earth and killed all the dinosaurs too.

The tidal forces from two moons would create a very unstable environment, probably too unstable for large animals to survive. The volcanic activity would be quite destructive. If there was a second moon, which is unlikely, it would have been lost well before the dinosaurs were around, allowing for a more stable geological environment.

it is possible that there were two moons at that time, the pull of their gravity would not make animals bigger, but the one moon we have now used to be much closer to the earth and had several times the gravitational pull on the earth that it does now

Moon is two small to assist suitable existence, it has no environment, which ability we are able to be immediately uncovered to photograph voltaic radiation. there is not any plant existence. And terraforming could take 1000's of years. There has no oxygen to respire. At appropriate the moon would want for use as a small colony, and could nonetheless require components to be shipped from earth, and that i don't advise Chocolate muffins, and rice paddies. worry-loose needs like oxygen canisters, foodstuff and water could nonetheless ought to are available in by ability of earth. nevertheless their is water on the moon effortlessly obtainable which oxygen and water could be taken from, its not thoroughly useful.

Can't remember where I read this, but there is a large asteroid that has a very slow, erratic, but yet consistent orbit around our planet; therefore, it is considered as a second moon. Its to and from approach around the earth was much closer during the Dinosaur Age, than it is today.

a moon can't make animals bigger and neither there gravity pool !! that's for shore!
