The video discusses the size and weight of a sauropod, which was about 60 feet long and weighed approximately 13 tons. The teacher poses a question about how much plant life this sauropod might consume in a day, expressing a dislike for such questions due to the potential for error. The teacher humorously estimates the sauropod's daily consumption by considering the number of bites it might take, equating two bites to one pound, and concludes with a light-hearted remark about their favorite logic.
