Megafauna are typically large due to a combination of evolutionary pressures and ecological factors. One primary reason is the "Bergmann's rule," which suggests that larger animals can maintain body heat more effectively in colder climates, leading to increased sizes in higher latitudes. Additionally, larger size can provide advantages in terms of predation, resource competition, and reproductive success. Over time, these factors have contributed to the evolution of large body sizes in various species.
