"  This summer Godzilla is back in theaters, and he&amp;#039;s big. Since his first awakening, the radioactive, fire-spewing kaiju has grown 200 feet and put on more than 150,000 tons. Godzilla is now 30 stories tall and weighs as much as a cruise ship. No actual animal could take the pressure of being so massive: It would overheat, its organs would implode, and it would need to mainline butter to get enough calories. For fun, we surveyed scientists to help us break down the beast&amp;#039;s biology. If Godzilla were real, he would be an incredible specimen. (Photo by Stephanie Gonot/Illustration by Andrew Rae) Weight Problems Godzilla would weigh 164,000 tons, according to our keen analysis of the 2014 Godzilla toy and a formula developed by paleontologists to work out the mass of bipedal dinosaurs.* We found out he would surpass the theoretical weight limit for land animals\u2014110 to 1100 tons. The heaviest dinosaur, the 100-ton Argentinosaurus, stood 70 feet tall, was 115 feet long, and had four limbs to distribute its enormous heft. Powerhouse At rest, Godzilla&amp;#039;s metabolism would generate 1.4 megawatts, or about as much power as that of a large wind turbine. On a rampage\u2014smashing helicopters, knocking over buildings, fighting Mothra\u2014he&amp;#039;d generate about 37 megawatts. That&amp;#039;s enough energy to fuel a town of 3000 people. Bad to the Bone The force on Godzilla&amp;#039;s bones is roughly 20 times greater than the force on a T. rex&amp;#039;s, so his bones would need to be phenomenally strong\u2014about twice as tough as some titanium alloys. Normal bone has a tensile strength of 150 megapascals, but Godzilla&amp;#039;s bones can handle 3000 MPa\u2014the same pressure found at the base of earth&amp;#039;s lithosphere, 60 miles below the surface. Godzilla&amp;#039;s cartilage would be about 12 times stronger than a human&amp;#039;s, preventing his knees from exploding like overripe tomatoes\u2014and making him the envy of basketball players everywhere.  Thick Skin Godzilla&amp;#039;s exterior is tough. (Soldiers with rifles, really?) His crocodile-like hide would be embedded with osteoderms, or bony deposits akin to chain mail. Protruding osteoderms on his back and tail vent excess heat. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
