While Europe was busy conquering the world, the Americans dug up the fossils of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth.
Did they name them for being the largest?
You know the answer, of course not.
What about the long neck and tiny head or the tail just the same but no head or the secondary brain in its arse?
NEVER! They named it “Sauropod” meaning “Lizard foot” like every other four footed reptile.
