Named Diplodocus (Double-beam) for the chevron-shaped secondary bones in its tail which protect the arteries from being crushed by its weight when sitting or resting, this species is a gentle but dangerous grazing creature.

Once believed by some to be one of the largest dinosaur species of all time due to a misplaced tail segment, we now know that Diplodocus, while still massive, was shorter than some other similar species. Even so, this dinosaur remains the largest species on Isla Panadero by an astounding 33 meters in length.

Like many other Sauropods, this species has shorter forelegs than hind legs, though only by a small margin. This leaves the creatures with a very horizontal looking appearance. Often times they will hold their tail fairly level with their back while bending down to graze on grains and grasses. They have a somewhat horseshoe shaped footprint due to the arrangement of their ‘finger’ bones, with only one digit sporting a wide, flat claw. This claw was a mystery to paleontologists but we have discovered that the species uses it to dig in areas where an abundance of bulbs and roots are found.

Other physical traits of note with this species include a proportionately small head with a flat shape, long outward pointing peg-like teeth used for grabbing and tearing vegetation, and keratin spinal decoration similar to the spines on the modern iguana.
