Sauropods are herbivourouherbivorous dinosaurs. In May 2017, scientists studied the gut contents of a 95-million-year-old sauropod. with astonishing news revealing This study revealed that sauropods didn’t chew their food, but instead relied on stomach microbes to digest the food. The Sauropod whose gut scientists studied the guts of was called Judy. Judy was believed to be a bulk feeder, an animal that doesn’t chew but instead swallows and lets its body do the rest. Lead researcher Dr Stephen Poropat says, “There’s no mastication happening in the mouth at all, it’s just simple snip and swallow.” He also believes that sauropods produced large amounts of methane. John Long says, “It’s always nice to find actual evidence of what extinct creatures, like gigantic dinosaurs, were eating.”
The bones and guts of Judy are now displayed in the Austailian Age of Dinosaurs Museum.
