At 9' tall, 143 pounds is very lean. I wonder how much he would eat in a day?

I imagine 3 and 1/2 noobosauruses.

And he could probably still pick up a car. Humans suck physically. There's few animals that wouldn't maul us in a physical fight.
But I guess that's the price we have to pay for intelligence. I'd rather have the ability to go to the moon whenever I wanted anyway.
