Interesting Facts About Sauropods
Sauropods were massive, long-necked animals with tiny heads and sturdy four legs; they were the largest of all dinosaurs and the largest land animal ever lived. This type of dinosaur first emerged during the Early Jurassic Epoch and flourished abundantly during the next 100 million years. Their fossils can be found all over the planet, even in Antarctica.
Did you know that “Sauropod” means “lizard-footed”?
Sauropod Babies
Although Sauropods were known as the tallest dinosaurs, their eggs are no larger than an ostrich egg and no bigger than an adult goose once hatched. According to scientists, sauropods’ eggs were small because they took long periods to incubate.
Sauropod’s little ones may start small but can grow very fast! Newly hatched can double their weight in five days. Adult sauropods were 10,000 times heavier than when they were little ones.
