Facts About Lusotitan and Sauropod Diets

Lusotitan was a massive long-necked sauropod discovered in Portugal that lived during the Late Jurassic period. Sauropods had high vertical reach, allowing them to strip leafy foliage from high tree canopy branches that other herbivores could not reach. Storing harvested tree branches in large baskets reflects historic methods of collecting forage for giant plant-eating animals.
