of the length of her tail,
and the way the joints work,
she must have been able to crack it
like a whip.
The muscular strength
that enabled her to hold her tail
above the ground
meant that she could, if necessary,
use it as a weapon.
Her tail would have helped
to balance her long, heavy neck,
but why was that so long?
It used to be thought
that she lived in rivers
and needed her neck to break the
surface in order to breathe
But that can't have been true,
because if her body was submerged,
the pressure of the water
would have crushed her lungs.
The most likely explanation
seems to be
that her huge neck helped her
reach vast quantities of leaves.
Sweeping it from side to side,
she could cover
a larger grazing area.
She could also push her head
between forest trees
to reach ferns
and other ground vegetation.
In order to reach the highest,
most succulent leaves in the forest,
it seems likely that Dippy would
have reared up on her hind legs.
Come on, Dippy.
Breakfast. Come on.
Oh, hello.
London's Natural History Museum
is full of wonders.
It's a place where we can get
a vivid idea
of the great variety of life
that inhabits our planet,
both today and in the past,
especially after a night like that.
