How long did it take a 🦕 to grow up? FAST! A baby Diplodocus grew to ~20 ft long within 4 years, ~60 ft in its teens, & by its late 20s as a <100 ft adult. But they didn't just get big fast - many parts of their skeleton underwent extreme shape change through growth!

Why did 🦕 get so big? Anti-predation, a larger gut for storing & digesting lots of 🌿), & increased surface area are some of the ideas. A big gut was likely the initial driver, but the extremes of the 🦕 likely represents a complex interplay of evolutionary innovations.

🦕 were the most successful group of herb. dinos. They reigned supreme during the "Age of Dinos", were globally distributed, & in many formations they were the dominant herbivores (& in some, the most common dinos!) We have 'pods on EVERY continent - even Antarctica!

Immediately thought of termite mounds cause they’re super cool ventilated structures, and they can be really old (I.e. 1000+ years old)
