What's with all the posts subjecting sauropods to hypothetical natural disasters latey? Lightning strikes, tornadoes, what cataclysms will they be asked to theoretically endure next? A massive asteroid impact, planet wide increase in volcanic activity, a global cooling event triggered by particulate matter in the atmosphere? I mean where does it all end?
When running out of natural disaster, manmade objects could be next: sauropods hitting a powerline, trying to walk under a bridge that's too low, being arrested for eating plants of people's balconies...
Excuse me, would you please be so kind to point me in the direction of all these sauropod hypothetical natural disaster posts? Which comm? This is the first I see, but, granted, I've been busy lately
Just like giraffes, the reason they had their long neck was to reach the foliage of tall trees. They've lived in a place full of things taller than them.
Pretty sure some or most of the sauropods had long necks to sweep areas without needing to love their bodies as far for each bite, similar to swans and geese and other long necked birds. Some likely did it for height, like the Brachiosaurus, but their body structure is more upright like a giraffe. Diplodicus and others were more horizontal.
Yes. All visual artifacts that predate the invention of the camera are AI. This is a well-known phenomenon, and I have a picture of me discussing it with Al Einstein and Ben Franklin.
Can I get a whole album of these guys getting hit with all kinds of natural disasters? I imagine they would fare well in a flood or tsunami. Their necks would do a rubber pencil during an earthquake.

That one scene from Hangover, but instead of a giraffe it's some sauropod

I wonder if it would kill them or just shock the absolute shit out of them?

Humans can survive lightning so I mean why not, but I'm also interested in the probability.
IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 153d
2 options, given that they coevolved with tall trees, it'll likely lives in places with trees taller than them, so they were safe from lightning.
Another option, is that they frequently got hit if walking in a clearing, and therefore evolved to survive lightning.

AI. There were no cameras back then
