Nature loves to make no sense a lot of the time.
Nature can't think, it just goes along with what works so far- otherwise, Humans would be giant-bionic super-soldier's that don't haft to eat by now.
No, the reason why nature favour's different sizes in most animals is probably because a long time ago, a event happened, causing animals to adapt to where the males were larger, and the females were smaller.
That was probably because the event caused many baby's to die, and so then the females (who were not a different size) died because they often fought to defend there offspring.
So, afterwords, the male took the role of protection.

What kindom is the dog in?
The Animal Kingdom (Animalia) is shared by both humans and dogs. In 1993, Thomas Cavalier-Smith divided the living world into eight kingdoms: Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, Fungi, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Chromista, and Archezoa. In 2004, he removed the kingdoms Archaebacteria and Archezoa in favor of a six kingdom model.

Why are calves so large?
Because if the selection for increased size in the beef herd. Many producers see that the only way to compete in the market and make a profit is to have large calves to sell at weaning time. The introduction to Continental breeds like Charolais and Maine Anjou have pulled meat packers in their favor because of their sheer size at slaughter. Other breeds that do not have this huge size have to increase the size of their cattle to compete with these new Continentals, and that means selecting for bigger, heavier calves.
How can natural selection favor different phenotypes at different times?
Natural selection is something that happens over time and is somewhat dependent on the conditions of climate and environmental changes. There are times when natural selection can favor different phenotypes, if and when the culture starts to seek out others with certain traits and characteristics to breed.
Natural selection can favor traits that make an animal more vulnerable to predators if those animals?

When natural selection favor the intermediate version of a characteristic it is called?

How natural selection favor evolution of drug-resistant pathogens?

How does natural selection favor an organism's heritable trait?
Natural selection favors a trait by increasing its frequency in a population. Natural selection is differential reproductive success. If one variant of a trait enables an organism to have and raise more offspring successfully than other variants in a particualr environment, then it will become more common in the population.
