About Diplodocus
This late Jurassic Sauropod thrived in a time when the Earth\''s warm temperatures encouraged rapid plant growth. Diplodocus needed a lot of food to keep it alive. Using rake like teeth, this animal could have striped an area of any vegetation, very quickly. Especially considering that there is evidence they traveled in herds.
Diplodocus has one of the longest tails of any animal to have ever walked the earth, at around 45 feet.
Like most Sauropods, Diplodocus\'' nostrils were actually high on its forehead, instead of at the end of its snout.
A recently discovered fossil of a skin impression suggests that this animal had spins along its neck.
