A moment of silence for the sauropods culled in the morning hours of 4/14/19:
Rebbachisaurus, the Nemegtosaurus-faced sauropod that barely had a back ridge
Haplocanthosaurus, the distant conundrums
Alamosaurus, the Apatosaurus who told stories to hide his true identity
Omeisaurus, the shrunken-skulled canopy-chewers
Sauroposeidon, the tide-shifting Brachiosaurus color morph
Vulcanodon, the little white-headed sauropod that just couldn't outrun the lava of the mush volcano
Zigongosaurus, who saw their last sunset just yesterday
Mamenchisaurus, Currently stuck in the loop known as purgatory
Magyarosaurus, the little lazy camaras that couldn't
Pelorosaurus and Patagosaurus, the wall-builders who had a great fall
Rapetosaurus, unfortunate victims of a disastrous hot dog-eating contest
the Barosaurus thieves: inhuman longnecks, they had it coming
and the sauropods who lost their lives before the terrible incident:
The Three Gummies (Titanosaurus, Nemegtosaurus and Hypselosaurus); despite their fruity taste, they weren't tasty enough
Riojasaurus; mohawks stopped being in style, and this young apatosaur felt the burn
Massospondylus; not even the lake could protect the cousins of the gummies
Melanorosaurus; its efforts to convince the Valley that it was a prosauropod and not a regular sauropod were futile
Isanosaurus, a sauropod with luck as grand as its head
Sonorasaurus, the brachiosaurs that screwed themselves over by removing their own noses
Euhelopus, lazy apatos with an odd sense of style
Opisthocoelicaudia, the biggest baby brachiosaurs on the block
Dreadnoughtus, camarasaurs that were too big for their britches
Jobaria, the inventors of botox
Malawisaurus; Zira in brachiosaur form
Borealosaurus, the... how do I write a eulogy for this
Bellusaurus, the biggest tinysaurus there ever was, and Lufengosaurus; Camptosaurus that couldn't be sauropodomorphs, no matter how hard they tried
Lourinhasaurus, the cetiosaurs that were devastated by bowling balls to the skull
Amphicoelias/Maraapunisaurus, an awfully big big big big baby
Rhoetosaurus, the unsung ghosts of Mama Longneck
Puertasaurus; of all of the races Tall Stepper had to lose to the wind, it had to be the one deciding the fate of his species!
Mussaurus, the apatosaurs so small that they couldn't see two feet in front of them - that would have helped them see the title of the movie they were in
Europasaurus; Littlefoot's cousins, slaughtered by realization they were apatosaurs of the mainland
