    A dwarf among cousins that are gigantic and shake the earth with each step, is an island pygmy.

    Europasaurus.

    Europasaurus is a rare case among fossil records, as it is a dwarf sauropod, living on small islands off the coast of Late Jurassic Germany. Reaching a max size suggested at 20ft feet at length, it was around the size of cattle, whereas its cousins such as Brachiosaurus and Camarasaurus were elephant or even whale sized goliaths that browsed near the treetops.

    Whereas here, Europasaurus herds were underneath the canopy, feeding closer to the grpund than up the trees.
