Julaves day 3, Limaysaurus tessonei. Long neck and tail, not ideal for these tiny squares.

Day 184 of DDD! The Limaysaurus! A sauropod from Late Cretaceous Patagonia! It was a relative of the likes of amargasaurus and nigersaurus! But unlike them, it lived alongside Giganotosaurus! Couldn't have been a fun experience livng with such a big predator.

Limaysaurus bringing down a large carcharodontosaur with its tail. Mud is slippery guys, attacking in the rain isn't always the best idea!
