Malagasy pygmy titanosaur (SciiFii)

The Malagasy pygmy titanosaur (Neovirgultasaurus nanocephala) is a species of titanosaur that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across the island of Madagascar and the Seychelles archipelago to help boost biodiversity. The closest living relative of the Malagasy pygmy titanosaur is the Rapetosaurus. The Malagasy pygmy titanosaur has a small length body compared with most sauropods, short legs, and a small and rounded head held by a semi-vertical neck. The Malagasy dwarf titanosaur is considered a dwarf species, due to the limited resources in its range and is smaller than most sauropods. The Malagasy pygmy sauropod is the smallest of the Malagasy sauropods, with lengths averaging 4 meters (13 feet) long. Like its relatives, the Malagasy pygmy titanosaur feeds on vegetation, which it grinds up in its gizzard with the aid of gastroliths (stomach stones). Unlike its larger relatives, the Malagasy pygmy titanosaur is not a gregarious animal. It lives in small groups of two or three rather than in large herds. The group can move quite quickly through the thickets, long necks waving, when faced with agile predators. The conservation status of the Malagasy pygmy titanosaur is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the Malagasy pygmy titanosaur's wide range.
