300-feet tall with a deafening roar and feet the size of whales, the new Godzilla is one enormous beast. In fact, it’s one of the largest on-screen kaiju of all time. But no need to fear: no animal on Earth ever gets Godzilla-sized, and for good reason.
In this Nerdist Special Report, I dig into the biology of Godzilla — its blood pressure, its bones, its reaction time — to see just how monstrous The King of the Monsters would really have to be.

O yea? Well what about MECHA GODZILLA
3:09 of my life gone. Who cares its a movie.
Meh, left out evolution. I don’t believe we’ll ever see a creature so large, but don’t count out evolution, it’s always shocking people…Nature, it finds a way…haha
Nature doesn’t always find a way. The majority of creatures that have ever lived have been wiped out by an indifferent universe. Jeff Goldblum is wrong!
This is a good description of why she can’t exist, but how about a description of what would be needed to make her exist? I’d like to know more about what her bones, nervous system, and bloodlines would need to be made of in order for Gojira to actually be seen by Bryan Cranston.
Godzilla is decidedly a “he”; hence, the moniker, “King of the Monsters.”
what?!! noooooo ..so devastated right now that gojira cannot exist. wait… not everything is lost. We still have the zombies. because they CAN exist. right? right?! D:
