Scientists learn how super-giant Sauropods grew to be so massive

Sauropods, a group of dinosaurs that includes the iconic long-necked species such as Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus, have long been known as the largest animals to walk the earth. Their massive size has been an enigma for scientists, and a new study now provides new insights into the remarkable evolution of these colossal creatures.
Paleontologist Michael D'Emic, an assistant professor of biology at Adelphi University in New York, is the author of the study titled "The Evolution of Maximum Body Size in Sauropod Dinosaurs."
