Dubbed by this reporter as “Urkelsaurus”, this younger cousin of the more familiar North American dinosaur Diplodocus, made its debut yesterday at the National Geographic Society. It is small for a sauropod, measuring only 30 feet in length. It managed to sustain its elephant-sized body with a featherweight skull armed with hundreds of needle-shaped teeth. Barely able to lift its head above its back, it operated more like a Mesozoic cow than a reptilian giraffe.
