Biology of the Sauropod Dinosaurs


Book Description

Sauropods, those huge plant-eating dinosaurs, possessed bodies that seem to defy every natural law. What were these creatures like as living animals and how could they reach such uniquely gigantic sizes? A dedicated group of researchers in Germany in disciplines ranging from engineering and materials science to animal nutrition and paleontology went in search of the answers to these questions. Biology of the Sauropod Dinosaurs reports on the latest results from this seemingly disparate group of research fields and integrates them into a coherent theory regarding sauropod gigantism. Covering nutrition, physiology, growth, and skeletal structure and body plans, this volume presents the most up-to-date knowledge about the biology of these enormous dinosaurs.




Plant-Eating Dinosaurs


Book Description

The Diplodocus is one of the dinosaurs people can easily recognize: super-long neck, large body, four heavy legs. It was an herbivore--and it was one of many plant-eating dinosaurs! This book gives a brief introduction to 11 dinosaurs that primarily ate plants, including facts about these dino bodies that were specially adapted to plant eating and, in many cases, what plants they ate. Other fascinating facts are also part of the essential dinosaur content, such as the nests some dinosaurs made, as well as each dinosaur's size. A full-color illustration of each example shows readers what scientists think these dinosaurs looked like long ago.
