And caloric metabolization basically is will use up by thin muscle, so thin sarcous decreases can make basal metabolis rate lower and lower. 而熱量的代謝主要是由瘦肌肉來消耗，所以瘦肌肉的減少會使得基礎代謝率越來越低。
So evidence of sustained rapid growth, even into late juvenile and subadult stages, implies that the animals in question had relatively high basal metabolic rates. 所以，即使進入幼年晚期與亞成體階段，仍持續快速生長的證據，暗示這些動物具有相對高的基礎代謝率。
