Magyarosaurus (SciiFii)

Magyarosaurus pygmiensis, also commonly known as a pygmy sauropod and the dwarf sauropod, is a species of titanosaur that originally lived in what is now Romania during the Late Cretaceous as an extinct species of Magyarosaurus and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction SciiFii. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis was planned to be included in Cretaceous Park located at Sacramento, California, but due the 3 unidentified criminals breaking into Cretaceous Park to steal all 17 Magyarosaurus pygmiensis for pet trade, they were released into the wilderness, possibly due to the criminals who stole the 17 Magyarosaurus pygmiensis finding them too hard to contain and hide. Ever since Magyarosaurus pygmiensis were let loose, the feral Magyarosaurus pygmiensis populations of just 17 have exploded to around 750 individuals across northern California in a couple of decades, and the population of this species in California is still increasing. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis prefers to live in the forests, swamps, marshlands, open woodlands, grasslands, scrublands, and farmland. Like all other "natural" sauropods, Magyarosaurus pygmiensis is a pure herbivore that primarily feeds on ferns, horsetails, cycads, fruits, leaves, pine needles, and shrubs, although it is known to occasionally feed on fallen leaves and mushrooms to supplement its diet. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis often goes to shallow pools and watering holes to, not just to drink, but also to wallow in, in case days become very hot. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis, are very friendly and docile towards people, yet adult males around breeding season can become aggressive. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis, being a formerly island-only species, can be quite tame, and even sometimes enjoy being played with by the many people. Because of this, these dinosaurs can be easily hand-fed as well, even as wild animals. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis can be either a solitary animal that lives mostly alone or a social animal that lives in small herds. Being an island animal, it does not form large/huge herds as their larger cousins. Small family groups is common too for Magyarosaurus pygmiensis herds. Due to being very small compared with most sauropods, Magyarosaurus pygmiensis lays around 75-100 eggs at a time and can lay almost 15 times as much in its lifetime, with egg-laying seasons starting about 6-7 after mating. Magyarosaurus pygmiensis, is a great example of island dwarfism: animals becoming smaller on the island than their mainland cousins. Despite its small size compared with most sauropods, the closest living relative of Magyarosaurus pygmiensis is Rapetosaurus, a much larger sauropod of the island of Madagascar.
