About You Voted For Camarasaurus
This medium-sized sauropod lived around 150 million years ago. Many fossil specimens make Camarasaurus one of the most well known of all North American dinosaurs. Camarasaurus had front and hind legs of equal length, making its back level with the ground. Camarasaurus' bones were filled with chambers of air, which is where it gets its name. These air chambers helped reduce its weight. The skull of Camarasaurus was short compared to other sauropods.

Drinker

About Drinker
Around 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic Period, a small plant-eating dinosaur named Drinker lived near ancient swamps. This herbivore, or plant-eating dinosaur, was only about 6 feet (2m) long, or about the size of a full grown human man. This is small compared to many other dinosaurs.

Drinker was named in 1990 by Robert Bakker in honor of Edward Drinker Cope. Edward Drinker Cope was one of the most famous paleontologists from North America who discovered and named many dinosaurs during the 1800s.

Incomplete fossils for three animals have been discovered.
