Bajadasaurus | What Did This Dinosaur Use Its Cretaceous Mohawk For?

The largest animals to ever walk the face of the planet were the sauropod dinosaurs. Known for their long necks and enormous sizes, the sauropods lasted from the late triassic to the late cretaceous. They’re one of the longest-lived groups of non-avian dinosaurs. It should therefore come as no surprise that some groups diverged from the generic body plan of super long neck, super long tail, tiny head, and robust body. One of these cringy influencers sported a mohawk of forward pointing spines erupting from a short neck. Meet Bajadasaurus.
