Mussaurus in the tall grass
The four-legged dinosaur holds its long neck upright while standing between patches of vegetation. Clumps of grass grow on both the left and right sides of its body, surrounding its feet and lower legs. The open area above the plants keeps attention on the animal's raised neck, small head, sturdy torso, and long tail.
Lesser-known facts about Mussaurus
Mussaurus fossils were first recognized from very young individuals, which inspired a name meaning “mouse lizard.” Later discoveries showed that adults grew much larger than those tiny youngsters. Evidence from its skeleton suggests that its posture and way of moving changed as the animal matured.
