    Actually, it seems cold conditions make animals more likely to grow big in order to be more energy efficient. That is why lots of deep sea creatures are larger than their counterparts that live on the warmer waters near the surface.

      Jacob Gellar’s video on this is excellent… is a sentence you can say about many subjects. Anyway he highlights how the open ocean is kinda like deep space with zero visibility. Any square mile of open ocean is several cubic miles of water. Animals the size of cruise ships disappear at that scale.

      Not so much in one well-searched lake.
