Physical Sciences - Paleontoloty 2

In the lecture, the professor talked about Brachiosaurus’ habitat. Disputing the passage’s arguments that this particular dinosaur lived in water, she cited several pieces of evidence showing that it lived near water.

First, she said there was fossil evidence of Brachiosaurus’ footprints on land. The evidence shows that some sauropods walked on four feet in groups and youngsters may have to run on their hind legs to keep up with the adults. This evidence contradicts the claim in the passage that Brachiosaurus’ legs could not support their massive weight and had to rely on water buoyancy.

Second, the professor said Brachiosaurus can easily fed on land plants and thus did not depend on water plants as the passage argued. Anatomically similar to a giraffe, it had relatively long front legs, which allowed it to extend its neck upward with less effort. Moreover, even if it could only reach out its neck horizontally, there plenty of plants at its body height. What’s more, its long neck allowed it to cover a large surface area so it could easily devour a large quantity of food without having to move much.

Third, the professor dismissed the argument in the passage that Brachiosaurus lay submerged in water and used its nostrils to breathe. She cited the evidence of bone fossils indicating that these dinosaurs had narrow feet which were unfit for life in water. For a large animal to live in the lakes or swamps, the professor believed it needed to have broad feet like those of a hippopotamus to walk on the muddy bottom.
