FUN FACTS:
The Diplodocus is one of the longest dinosaurs ever discovered, measuring up to 90 feet (27 meters) from head to tail. Its long neck and tail made up most of its length, giving it a distinctive, elongated appearance.
It had a long, whip-like tail that could have been used for defense or communication. Some scientists believe it could have cracked its tail like a whip to scare off predators or communicate with other members of its herd.
Despite its massive size, Diplodocus had relatively slender, pillar-like legs, which helped support its enormous body. These legs were well-suited for walking long distances in search of food, as Diplodocus likely roamed large areas of what is now North America.
The Diplodocus was a herbivore, feeding on plants like ferns and conifers. Its long neck allowed it to reach high into trees to access leaves that other herbivores couldn’t reach, as well as to graze on low-lying plants.
