In a recent study published in Biology Letters, Professor Graeme Ruxton
from the University of Glasgow and Dr. David Wilkinson from Liverpool
John Moores University use mathematics and a comparison to the old 1950s
style vacuum cleaners to explain the benefits of the very long necks
seen in dinosaurs like the Brachiosaurus. Dinosaurs like the
Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus, who roamed the Earth from 200 hundred
million years ago to their extinction 65 million years ago, had
extremely heavy bodies and very long necks. Debate between the
scientific communities has been going on for years as to just why their
necks were so long and what its purpose was. Looking at the basic body
design of these dinosaurs, the team of researchers could best describe
them as like the old style vacuum cleaners of the 1950s. With a large
and cumbersome cylindrical body and a long reaching hose with a vacuum
head, these vacuums worked in a similar manner to what they believe the
dinosaurs did.
