Description: Lapparentosaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago. It was a member of the sauropod group of dinosaurs, which were characterized by their long necks, large bodies, and small heads. Lapparentosaurus was a relatively small sauropod, measuring around 20 feet (6 meters) in length and weighing about 2.5 tons. Its body was supported by four sturdy legs, and it had a long, flexible tail that it may have used for balance while moving. It had a small head with a beaked mouth that it used to pluck foliage from trees and bushes. Lapparentosaurus lived in what is now Africa and is known from a single partial skeleton that was discovered in Tanzania.
