 * Sauropods had small heads so they had small brains(no so smart), they had long necks, a long tails(to balance their body weight), because of their bone stuctures scientist are able to determine that they had an upright poister. Most of the sauropods can live up to 38 years, that's longer thatn a T-rex!!
 * They can produce up to a dozen eggs. Sence they eat plants, or leafy greens, they live on grasslands and or tondras. Because they are food for SOME dinosaurs they live in herds/groups of other large or median sized sauropods.
 * They have been found in Asia, Africa, and Europe. Even some of these early specimens reached lengths of 18 meters. The members of this group include __//Vulcanodon, Barapasaurus, Ohmdenosaurus, Zizhongosaurus, and Kotasaurus//__.There are alot of plant eating dinosaurs, but I'll just name a few. There is the Brachisaurs, Apatasaurs, Seismosaurs, Camarasaurs, Ultrasauros, Supersaurs.
