Sauropod dinosaurs
Sauropod dinosaurs, computer artwork. The sauropods were large herbivorous dinosaurs. Fossils of various types of sauropod are known from the early Jurassic period (around 200 million years ago) up to the mass extinction of all the dinosaurs around 65 million years ago. The group includes the largest land animals to have ever lived, with some sauropods reaching over 40 metres in length, and weighing up to 100 tonnes. It is thought that some sauropods may have spent much of their time wallowing in water, and it is likely that they lived in herds. An elephant is also shown for comparison

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Sauropod dinosaurs, brought to life through stunning computer artwork. These colossal herbivorous creatures roamed the Earth from the early Jurassic period, approximately 200 million years ago, until the mass extinction event that wiped out all dinosaurs around 65 million years ago. Sauropods were truly awe-inspiring beings, with fossils of various types known to exist. They hold the distinction of being the largest land animals ever recorded, some reaching astonishing lengths exceeding 40 meters and weighing up to a staggering 100 tonnes. In this image, an elephant is included for scale comparison against these prehistoric giants. It is believed that certain sauropods may have spent considerable time immersed in water and likely lived in herds. Their presence would have undoubtedly shaped their surrounding ecosystems during their reign on our planet. This breathtaking illustration not only highlights their immense size but also offers a glimpse into a world long gone by. It serves as a testament to both biology and paleontology enthusiasts alike who are captivated by these extinct marvels of nature.
