What the Mamenchisaurus and Bud Scene Shows
The Mamenchisaurus stands on the ground with its long neck extended toward the tip of the plant. Its snout is close to the bud, as though the dinosaur has just noticed a possible meal. Leafy stems rise beside it, while small clumps of grass grow along the ground below.
Surprising Facts About Long-Necked Plant Eaters
Mamenchisaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur whose remarkably long neck could help it reach vegetation without moving its heavy body very far. Scientists cannot know exactly how it held its neck during every activity, but the neck gave the animal access to plants at different heights. Buds are young plant growth and often develop into leaves or flowers.
