CatoblepasI wonder if it would kill them or just shock the absolute shit out of them?
Valmond2 options, given that they coevolved with tall trees, it’ll likely lives in places with trees taller than them, so they were safe from lightning.
Another option, is that they frequently got hit if walking in a clearing, and therefore evolved to survive lightning.
Captain AggravatedStand back 3 wolf moon, we’ve got two sauropod lightning.
What’s with all the posts subjecting sauropods to hypothetical natural disasters? Lightning strikes, tornadoes, what cataclysms will they be asked to theoretically endure next? A massive asteroid impact, planet wide increase in volcanic activity, a global cooling event triggered by particulate matter in the atmosphere? I mean where does it end?
When running out of natural disaster, manmade objects could be next: sauropods hitting a powerline, trying to walk under a bridge that’s too low, being arrested for eating plants of people’s balconies…
ekZeppJust like giraffes, the reason they had their long neck was to reach the foliage of tall trees. They’ve lived in a place full of think taller than them.
Pretty sure some or most of the sauropods had long necks to sweep areas without needing to love their bodies as far for each bite, similar to swans and geese and other long necked birds. Some likely did it for height, like the Brachiosaurus, but their body structure is more upright like a giraffe. Diplodicus and others were more horizontal.
For some reason it just hit me how gross long-necks look…
how lightning when not electricity been yet
not even gorge wash was been there
There can be only one
