Diamantinasaurus combined a long neck with an especially sturdy body. It was a sauropod: a dinosaur with a small head and legs supporting an enormous body. Its robust trunk and strong limbs carried a neck that let it reach vegetation without moving its whole body for every mouthful.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Diamantinasaurus
Its fossils come from the Winton region of Queensland. One of the first skeletons was nicknamed Matilda, and later specimens helped complete the picture of the animal.
Different skeletons matter because a single individual rarely preserves every bone. Comparing them helps distinguish species traits from changes during growth and reassess relationships with other Australian giants.
