Diplodocus

Diplodocus was a sauropod of the late Jurassic. It was 90 ft. (27 m) long. It's tail is like a whip that will lash out on an attacker and boy that would hurt! Because of it's whip tail it is considered a whip tailed sauropod. It was found in Utah,Colorado and Wyoming. Diplodocus has peg teeth for striping off plants. It didn't have it's neck held high so it held it level. Diplodocus had front legs shorter than it's back legs. It could rear up on it's hind legs and get hard to reach leaves, but not hold it for a long period of time.
