Who were the long-necked dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs with long necks and long tails are called sauropods. Some of them were among the biggest animals ever to walk on land. They were plant-eaters and used their long necks to reach leaves high up in the trees. Like all dinosaurs, they laid eggs. Dinosaurs lived many millions of years ago – long before there were any people. And here's a cool fact: today's birds are descendants of dinosaurs.
