My favorite group of Mesozoic dinosaurs are the sauropods, do you have any fun sauropod info?
The adaptations that allowed sauropods to get big are the same ones that allowed theropods to fly!
Sauropods *didn't* use gizzard stones!
Sauropods were able to maintain a consistent internal body temp through the force of their giant bodies alone!
The closer a Sauropod gets to the Colossosaurs (the really big titanosaurs), the fewer fingers it has! Column feet!
Sauropods probably used their long necks for display and possibly for intraspecific combat!
Most sauropods were so big cryptic coloration would have been useless and they were too big to be hunted anyway, so they were probably very colorful!
While everyone knows Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus, they are actually part of one of the least diverse and common sauropod groups!
Sauropods were MORE successful in the Cretaceous, not less!
Titanosaur phylogeny is a mess from which we will never escape!
Sauropods breathed like birds!
Sauropods had bones like birds!
Some sauropods had beaks!
Sauropod teeth tell you a lot about how they ate - some had peg like teeth, others more spade like, and they cropped off plants in different ways!
We are still arguing about how Sauropods may have held their necks!
The first Sauropods appeared in the Triassic of Southeast Asia!
Some sauropods used lava fields and other places of geothermal activity to brood their nests!
