Beyond the game
The real Bellusaurus
The known specimens are juveniles of around five meters. That age must be taken into account when reconstructing adult size and comparing its anatomy with other sauropods.
Its teeth were spoon-shaped. The specimen’s age limits what can be said about adult size, and comparisons with other sauropods must allow for features that could still change as it grew.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
