This is due to sheer size and the laws of physics. The research I do on morphology and biomechanics can tell us a lot about this battle and might help you decide – #TeamGodzilla or #TeamKong? Larger than lifeįirst it’s important to acknowledge that both Kong and Godzilla are definitely far beyond the realms of biological possibility. Ultimately, this is a fight between a giant reptile and a giant primate, and there are relative biological advantages and disadvantages that each would have.
