Hello there!

I really want to make the Daily Dino Dose a project for next year, so I'd like to know what dinos you would like to see there!

You can just leave a comment or go to my ask box (which is open for any questions, really)

Happy holidays, my prehistoric friends!

Daily Dino Dose!

🦕 today's dino is the Diplodocus 🦖

(: because I do love them spaguetti shaped animals :)

This absolute unit of a reptile lived in the late jurassic period and was equipped with four sturdy as heck legs, a tiny head, a tail with 80 vertebrae that may have been used as defence or making some type of noise similar to a whip -kinky- and one, i repeat, ONE claw on it's front paw. Scientists are still debating its use but in my opinion it would've been used to flip other jealous sauropods that didn't have it.

The Diplodocus was more on the chill side and as such chose to have a diet which consisted of plants, chomping on trees and bushes, but alas, it was "not like other sauropods" and chose an unilateral stripping method for eating. This shows because its teeth have a different shape from its cousins and even from its young, this strategy was made so that there were no food competitions between species or age groups.

Diplodocus means "double beam", relating to its uncommon structure observed on the tail bones, but truth be told its discovery story is unfortunately not so rare. Discovered in 1877 during the Bone Wars it ended up caught up in, you guessed it, a scientific feud once again, between classifications and the second dinosaur rush a complete mould was finally exposed in 1899 as Diplodocus longus.

There are 4 possible species but only 2 are recognized (D.carnegii and D. hallorum). The main difference between the two is the amount of fossils, while D.carnegii had a full skeleton known -aka Dippy-, D. hallorum is composed of a few vertebrae and minor skeletal parts which are not enough to determine its position.

By being part of the most well known and recognizable dinos due to the amount of remains found including bones -duh-, footprints and even skin impressions, it's again, a character present in the BBC documentary Walking with Dinosaurs.

-for me it's one of the cutest episodes bcz tiny spaguettis :(( -

thank you for surviving my awful writing and sorry for any mistakes be it factually or grammatically and please let me know if there are any alterations that'd make this posts better, have a good one my pre-historic friends <3
