Paragraph on “ What is the longest animal ever to have lived on land?” complete paragraph for Class 9, Class 10, Class 11 and Class 12
What is the longest animal ever to have lived on land?
The prize for this record must go to Diplodocus, a plant-eating dinosaur which lived 30o million years ago. Over 27 m (80 ft) long and weighing 26 tonnes, this creature probably spent most of its life in and around swampy areas. When wading about in the water, it could use the buoyancy of the water to help support its great weight, and no doubt it felt more secure from predators here, too. Although Diplodocus was the longest dinosaur, another giant reptile living at the same time, called Brachiosaurus, was the heaviest animal ever to have lived on land. It weighed almost 50 tonnes, and was 12 m (40 ft) high!
