The spines could be up to 18 centimeters (7.1 in) long, on the "whiplash" portion of their tails, and possibly along the back and neck as well, similarly to hadrosaurids. [ 28 ] [ 29 ] The spines have been incorporated into many recent reconstructions of Diplodocus , notably Walking with Dinosaurs . [ 30 ]
Dog with partially docked tail. Docking or bobbing is the removal of portions of an animal's tail.It should not be confused with cropping, [1] the amputation of ears. Tail docking may be performed cutting the tail with surgical scissors (or a scalpel) or constricting the blood supply to the tail with a rubber ligature for a few days until the tail falls off. [2]
Diplodocus, depicted with spines limited to the mid-line of the back. Diplodocids were generally large animals, even by sauropod standards. Thanks to their long necks and tails, diplodocids were among the longest sauropods, with some species such as Supersaurus vivianae and Diplodocus hallorum estimated to have reached lengths of 30 meters (100 ft) or more.

Tail wagging has long been associated with a pup's mood, but the fascinating -- and often telling -- things about the appendage don't stop there. Here are 10 things you didn't know about dogs' tails.
The word "Flagellicaudata" refers to long, whip-like tails of that animals (flagellum is a Latin word meaning "whip" and cauda means in Latin "tail"). [ 6 ] The phylogenetics of Diplodocoidea were reviewed in 2015 by Emanuel Tschopp, Octavio Mateus and Roger Benson with a specimen-level phylogenetic analysis, as well as a species-level analysis.
Dippy is a composite Diplodocus skeleton in Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Natural History, and the holotype of the species Diplodocus carnegii.It is considered the most famous single dinosaur skeleton in the world, due to the numerous plaster casts donated by Andrew Carnegie to several major museums around the world at the beginning of the 20th century.
Since dogs can’t speak like humans, they’re all about the body language. If you want to understand your dog’s needs and emotions better, be observant when it comes to this form of communication.
Like all sauropods, Nigersaurus was a quadruped with a small head, thick hind legs, and a prominent tail. Among that clade, Nigersaurus was fairly small, with a body length of only 9 m (30 ft) and a femur reaching only 1 m (3 ft 3 in); it may have weighed around 1.9–4 t (2.1–4.4 short tons), comparable to a modern elephant.
