Beyond the game
The real Omeisaurus
It was a herbivorous sauropod with species of different sizes. The largest have been estimated at around eighteen to twenty meters, while others were much smaller.
Its neck had seventeen vertebrae, more than that of many other sauropods. Counting vertebrae allows you to compare necks that may appear similar from the outside. The total length of the animal and the number of pieces in its spine are different measurements.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
