Terrestial=on land. I'm interested in how complex life on land would be.
With twice the gravity? Simply somewhat sturdier at the same size, I'd guess.
Animals on Earth must be disproportionally stronger and more heavy-set the bigger they get (you can't
simply proportionally zoom a Mouse to 10 times the size, it would be way to weak to support itself, because
the weight goes with the size cubed, but the area of bones only with the size squared).
So, if you have twice the gravity, on that planet you'd have the creatures of human size look as heavily built and sturdy
as creatures on Earth somewhat larger than humans would be.
