Sauropod babies are thought to have added roughly 2 tons of weight per year until they reached about 20 years of age, and continuing to grow (at a slower rate) after that.
The largest terrestrial animals ever were the herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, outweighing the largest herbivorous mammals by order of magnitude in body mass. According to conservative estimations, several evolutionary lineages among the Sauropod produced giants with body weights greater than 50 metric tonnes.
Animal lineages will increase in size until they approach the limit set by the interaction of bauplan, biology, and resource availability. Body mass increase is driven by the selective benefits of high body size.
