Fun Facts About Mamenchisaurus
Mamenchisaurus lived in the late Jurassic period, about 160 to 145 million years ago, in what is now China. It was discovered in 1952 at a highway construction site. Its neck was about half the length of its entire body – for the biggest known species, scientists estimate around 50 feet, longer than any other animal we know of. It also had lots of neck bones: 19 of them. Of course, its head never actually reached the clouds – that’s a fun exaggeration on our page. It was a plant-eater.
Fun Ideas for Your Finished Mamenchisaurus
Glue cotton balls onto the cloud to make it extra fluffy. Stretch a rope across the yard and measure 50 feet – that’s how long his neck was! Or imagine together what Mamenchisaurus can see from way up there.
