Fun Facts About Long-Necked Dinosaurs
Long-necked dinosaurs had a very long neck and an equally long tail. The tail balanced out the neck, a bit like a scale. With their long necks they could reach leaves other animals couldn’t, without walking much. Fossil footprints also show that some long-necks traveled in groups. Using the neck as a bridge for little friends, of course, only happens in our imagination.
