Description

30 Day Retrosaur Challenge  day three - Long Necked Goliath

The Megalonerid (meaning ‘big nosed one’) lived in the late Jurassic/early Cretaceous, feeding on tree tops and occasionally submerging itself in swamps. Was once theorized to have a trunk but actually had modified mouth muscles to help it feed.

the philosophy of retrosaur design is to use outdated designs to make a awesome dinosaur

Nice touch on the snout; such a creative and alien-looking sauropod

Not a sauropod; a retrosaur.
