According to the theory of natural selection, the Sauropods 's long neck is an adaptation for browsing high vegetations. Also, their long neck was also adapted for a large feeding envelope because they need to hold their food while moving from one tree to another. Their huge body is used to store food too. Sauropods ' bodies are big because they have a large digestive tract to store food inside until they get to the next vegetation area as well. The sauropods ' bodies were also used to scare…
