Sauropods were something else entirely.
In “The World’s Largest Dinosaurs” at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, meet Sauropods, the largest land animals to ever walk Earth. For 140 million years these long-necked and long-tailed dinosaurs didn’t just live, they thrived.
So how does a plant-eating creature who could reach up to 150 feet long with an average weight of 12 tons thrive for that long?
Explore the biology and anatomy that powered this super-sized group of dinosaurs and learn how heart rate, respiration and metabolism are all linked to size.
At the center of the exhibition stands a 60-foot-long Mamenchisaurus, one of the longest-necked dinosaurs ever discovered, offering a rare inside look at the remarkable adaptations in breathing, digestion, growth, reproduction and behavior that made extreme size possible on land.
