Rhoetosaurus
Rhoetosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that stomped through ancient Australia. It was one of the biggest and most complete dinosaurs ever found on that continent. This gentle giant lived during the Jurassic Period, when Australia was much farther south and covered in lush forests.2

Datos curiosos
Rhoetosaurus had a surprisingly long neck for a sauropod, thanks to its elongated neck vertebrae.2
Its bones had hollow cavities called pleurocoels, which are an advanced feature not seen in many Jurassic sauropods.2
Rhoetosaurus could walk at a speed of up to 15 km per hour, covering 20 to 30 km in a day.2
It is the only Australian sauropod known from before the Cretaceous Period, making it key to understanding early dinosaur evolution in the region.2
The first fossils were found in 1924 by a station manager named Arthur Browne, who sent them to the Queensland Museum.2
Rhoetosaurus lived in a wet, subtropical forest with tall conifer trees, cycads, and ferns, near a large braided river.2
Its tail may have been short and clubbed, similar to the Chinese sauropod Shunosaurus.2
