Demandasaurus
This sauropod from Burgos helps connect Europe’s history with other ancient lands.
This sauropod from Burgos helps connect Europe’s history with other ancient lands. It belonged to the rebbachisaurids, a sauropod branch. It had the build of a large plant eater with a long neck and tail, but its bones and teeth distinguish it from giants that might look similar at first glance.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Demandasaurus
It was found in Burgos and named after the Sierra de la Demanda. Remains include skull and body parts, a particularly useful combination when comparing animals often known only from fragments.
The discovery helps researchers study relationships between dinosaurs in Europe and other regions. Close family ties can point to a shared evolutionary history, but do not make two genera the same species.
