Fun Facts About Long-Necked Dinosaurs
Scientists call long-necked dinosaurs sauropods. They were the biggest animals ever to walk on land, and every one of them was a plant-eater. Their necks were often many yards long – in some species, over 30 feet! To keep them from being too heavy, many neck bones had air pockets inside, a bit like birds’ bones. Their heads were surprisingly small for their bodies. Sauropods lived for many millions of years, from the Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous, and their fossils have been found on every continent.
