Part of the circle of life. How old do you think the LMB was ?

Because LMB are cold blooded they don't act like us (sleep after a big meal). Their metabolism is regulated by temp. That controls the rate of digestion as well as phsycial activity. In cold temps they slow down a lot , at optimum feeding temp they go wild eating (even to the extent of having a full stomach and a shad tail hanging out their mouth while looking for a next meal). When it gets to hot feeding slows and if temps go up much more they reach max lethal temp often in conjunction with a low DO problem.
