14. Sauropods Gas Problem
Long neck dinosaurs classified as sauropods, like the argentinosaurus, had quite the interesting digestive systems. The vegetarians ate a diet full of fibrous material, that wasn’t always easy to digest. It’s believed that their stomachs worked like fermentation chambers, trapping the necessary gases to fully break down food. It makes sense right?–there’s just one thing…if they needed that much gas to break down all that food, they must have been constantly passing gas. It might explain why their always pictured with a gaping mouth, as their constantly denying it was them who cut the cheese.
