all species have limiting factors precluding indefinite increase in size.

the skeleton is composed to a certain density for the needs to the creature.
the musculature is of a specific density for the function of the creature.
the nervous system is of a given density to allow optimum performance.
However, animals can overtime become larger if their food and space are sufficient.
this has been shown many times in many species throughout history.
