Ce sont les plus grands animaux qui aient jamais existé à la surface des continents. (...) Leur corps énorme repose sur des membres à cinq doigts que terminent des sabots assez semblables à ceux des éléphants. Par contraste, leur tête est relativement très petite (...) 1, record 2, French, - sauropode
