“With the heat rising as the day continues, many animals have flocked to their water sources or shady areas to cool. For the Diplodocus, they moved towards their waterfall.

“Graceful and majestic animals such as the Diplodocus deserved an enclosure to match their beauty, with a waterfall spilling into a large pond at the edge of a mighty plain filled with vegetation. We are lucky that the sanctuary has so many wonderful areas or places to easily build.

“Our trio of thirteen ton sauropods are gentle beings, much like whales with their hauntingly beautiful calls resonating from that massive neck. And while here in the paddock they don’t usually do so, in the wild the Diplodocus have been documented many times to crack their tails like a whip, the boom from the sound barrier beong broke being used for long distance calls between individuals in a herd spread out when migrating or feeding.

“Their method of eating is very different to Titanosaurs or Brachiosaurs, which usually browse on trees and shrubs, stripping all leaves they can branch by branch. Diploducus and their relatives feed low to the ground, occasionally rearing up to browse on branches. But they more commonly mow the ground in a side-to-side motion while standing in one place, their long necks moving their heads to any plant in reach as they crop them up and swallow them, letting the stones in their gullet grinding the matter as its digested.

“They are truly magnificent.”
