BIG ANIMALS!

Can someone answer me why Big animals live in hotter countries?

I will pay for someone to give me the answer, well maybe not I won't pay you but you will have the knowledge of solving my complex. I came across an article that makes sense but its against the trend of larger animals, basically the article states that the sheep get smaller as they can survive in the winter cos its warmer. BUT THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY GET BIGGER!

Animals are bigger in hot countries because they need a greater surface area to get rid of all the heat they get from the hot countries, it's why elephants and such have such flappy ears to spread their surface area out so they cool down faster.

Hope that helps but just look up GCSE Biology if it doesn't.
