The Real Diplodocus
("Double beam"). If you were a sauropod, you had no choice:
You were blessed (or cursed) by certain physical attributes. You had
a tiny head, a long neck, a massive body, four legs that resembled
Grecian columns, and a seemingly endless, tapering tail. You also
had a miniscule brain, and probably spent nearly all your time munching
the tender leaves at the tops of trees only you could reach. If you
were a Diplodocus, a Late Jurassic sauropod found in western
North America, you had some of these typical features in abundance.
For example, you were one of the longest of the sauropods - up to
90 feet (27 meters) in length, yet you only weighed about 12 tons
(11 metric tons), far less than Apatosaurus, which weighed
in at 30 tons (27 metric tons).
