    Hate to be that guy and ruin everyone’s fun but this is science memes, dinosaurs like that would not have there head up like that. They rarely raised there head above there shoulders.

    According to Kent Stevens, computer-modeled reconstructions of the skeletons made from the vertebrae indicate that sauropod necks were capable of sweeping out large feeding areas without needing to move their bodies, but were unable to be retracted to a position much above the shoulders for exploring the area or reaching higher.

    Yeah, that classic image of tall sauropods 🦕 is probably wrong. Also like someone else mentioned they wouldve probably lowered there head anyway to vomit.

      I’m impressed that you managed to misspell “their” every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.

        Like, I want to up vote the fact checking, but I want to down vote the careless grammar. I’m so torn.

      Do we even know if they were capable of vomiting?

        Seeing how both us and birds can vomit, probably. I imagine that developed very early. If you eat something harmful, you’re dead if you can’t vomit. If you don’t have the brainpower to identify safe and harmful things, you’re pretty screwed.
