Environmental science: Animal Size It is well known that larger islands or continents can support larger animals. One study found the following relationships between x = land size (in square miles) and y = weight (in pounds) of the “top animal” ever to live on that land mass. Use the formula to estimate the size of the top animal for:

a. Hawaii (4000 square miles).

b. North America (9,400,000 square miles).

y = 1.7x0.52 (for warm-blooded plant-eating animals, which includes many mammals)
