MEGA DINOSAURS
SAUROPODOMORPHA
Uncovering the world of the giants
The group of the sauropods was a group that contained the biggest land animals of all time with some of them estimated to have stood at 21m long. Their most important characters are their long necks, long tails, their small heads alongside their herbivorous diet. Furthermore, they are believed to have lived in herds and were a real challenge to take down even by the big carnivores.
Having an upper hand, both by being strong and living in a herd and formed this strong unit to potentially do damage to predators was the most possible explanation for the survival of those very real titans.
Though they lived for over 100 million due to all their advantages to survive, the group was not among the survivors of the extinction. The general idea that people have on those beasts is actually very accurate and they are a group that was very well portrayed in mainstream media. But, what people misunderstand when it comes to evolution is that animals do not suddenly spawn in all of a sudden but it’s a process that takes millions of years passing through numerous species to reach the typical morphology of an animal: to say that all Sauropods look the same is scientifically inaccurate.
