The Shunosaurus is one of the smaller sauropods, with a characteristically short neck. An adult can grow up to 31 feet in length!

To defend against threats, the Shunosaurus has a clubbed tail equipped with 2 inch long spikes which it can swing like a flail.

Did you know that the Shunosaurus was discovered in Sichuan Province in China? Its name means 'Shu lizard'.

With its extremely narrow and pointed skull, the Shunosaurus' upper and lower jaws function like garden shears.
