--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amargasaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that lived in South America. It was about 10m in length with a spectacular "sail" running along the length of its back. This sail might have been used for defence, for controling the dinosaur's body temperature, or perhaps to signal to a mate. Amargasaurus seems to have laid its eggs as it walked and probably did not care its young at all.
