A disturbing truth about sauropod dinosaurs

Basic neuroscience? In my paleontology video? It's more likely than you think! We're doing something a little different today, folks! Go on a deep dive with Dr. James Napoli and the Skeleton Boys, as they try to figure out how a weird little feature of the vertebrate body would affect sauropod dinosaurs - the largest animals ever to live on land.

We drew on many sources for this video, but the most important was a paper and accompanying blog post by Dr. Matthew J. Wedel, who had the same thought as us over a decade ago and channeled it into a really cool paper, instead of just a YouTube video. Check out his work if you want to dive deeper into this cool biological question! The paper: https://www.app.pan.pl/article/item/a...
