Godzilla vs. King Kong: Whose Poops Would Be Bigger?

This is really silly, but it's what the internet was made for. The movie Godzilla vs. Kong is in theaters now, pitting the giant movie monsters against one another. Their ridiculous size makes them perfect for cinematic violence, but what about cleaning up after them? In other words, which would produce the most waste? Mental Floss turned to the experts: primate expert Dr. Cat Hobaiter and reptile researcher Dr. David A. Steen, who give us the poop, so to speak, on the closest real world analogies to the movie monsters. Then we can extrapolate to their movie size and determine a, uh, winner. Would you bet on King Kong or Godzilla to drop the bigger load in a typical day? Find out what Mental Floss has determined in a scientifically and mathematically sound (but still fictional) competition.

I would have come to a similar conclusion, even though it is not clear what Godzilla and Kingkong actually eat... Both creaturs would look much plumper in real life wich would require a much larger higher digestive system. But it may be possible that Godzilla uses methane generated by its digestive system to fuel his fiery breath.. and just in case the separation of the methane from the digested matter is not fully fuctional being firebreathed to death is much more humiliating than just being roasted to death...which may also has a size reduciung effecto on the Godzilla-Poo...
