The Giving of December. Melanorosaurus

  Melanorosaurus is usually referred to as a sauropodomorph although it’s precise position can vary according to different sources.‭ ‬Nevertheless,‭ ‬Melanorosaurus represents a form that is intermediate between the bipedal sauropod ancestors,‭ ‬and the later larger quadrupedal forms.‭ ‬Also while not as grand in size as the later sauropods,‭ ‬at up to eight meters long Melanorosaurus was still one of the largest known land animals of its day.
