Z-space is infinite, if I'm not mistaken.

Maaaaaan, the more I think about it, the more I find issues with this technology.
THERE ARE LOTS OF UNEXPLAINED THINGS... Kinda wish Ax would have let us in a few more during his narrations.
Like, how the age factor is ignored. If they acquired, say, an old bird, would they morph the animal at that exact age, or at their respective teenage-hoods?!
How Marco morphed a fat man, implying that 'fat' is stored in DNA.

The issue with the clothing business is another big one. It indicates that something more than DNA is at work in the morphing business. The Animorphs only managed to do skin tight stuff, but I remember Estrid blew my mind when she managed to do full-blown clothing in The Arrival. What's with that?!

Also, (can't remember in which book) but they were once hungry and upon feeding in wolf morph, and demorphing into human, they ceased to be hungry. This suggests that even biological functions are transferred with the excess mass and all...

Book 25 "The Extreme".  however, in another book, Tobias has to eat part of a hamburger in his hawk form, which implies that if he ate it all in human form, it wouldn't nourish his hawk form.

Thinking about it, the whole anteater ending in 24 makes no since. How exactly would morphing anteater fix their size?

The Animorphs and all their morph DNA had been shrunk by the Helmacron shrinking ray.  The Anteater DNA was of normal size, so that when the Animorphs used it, they became full sized anteaters!  So did Visser 3.

What would have happened had the unshrink ray been used on the full sized anteaters?

What would happen if the unshrinking ray were used on an organism that is already at full size?
