## In-Game

### Description

The smallest sauropods making an appearance in Prehistoric Kingdom, Camarasaurus would still completely dwarf extant animals.

Much like Pachyrhinosaurus and Edmontosaurus, each skin of Camarasaurus represents a different species of the genus. The smallest species, C.lentus, is the Limestone skin, C.grandis is the Cinnibar skin and the largest species, C.supremus, is the Caribbean skin.

*Camarasaurus* has gone through multiple revisions of its overall design and its model and coloration, since it recently got a remake in DevLog #40.

### In-Game Trivia

"*There it is: Camarasaurus, the star of the Morrison Formation.*"

"*Don't let its peculiar mouth scare you! The long, chisel-like teeth may look like a carnivore's, but they are actually much better adapted to rip coarse leaves from tree branches. Although, to be fair, we haven't really put the theory to the test…*"

"*Fossils of Camarasaurus are some of the most common remains found in the Morrison! Luckily for us, that means we have a wealth of information to work with, including what it ate and even how it laid its eggs!*"

"*One of the reasons this animal is so common in the fossil record is the sturdiness of its blunt skull. Looking at it more closely, I can, uh, sort of see how that would be the case, wouldn't you agree?*"

## Paleontology

Distinct among sauropods due to it's robust, square skull shape and it's tough chisel shaped teeth, Camarasaurus likely ate far tougher foliage than the other sauropods in it's habitat, such as Diplodocus. A small ridge of iguana-like spines runs down the animal's neck, and much like other sauropods, Camarasaurus has a keratinized lip that forms into a beak not unlike a tortoise.

Out of the three species, C. *supremus* is the largest, growing up to eleven metres in height. Aside from it's height, C. *supremus* is almost indistinguishable from it's smaller counterparts.

Paleontologists have found that C. *lentus* is the oldest species of Camarasaurus, only appearing in the lowest rock layers of the Morrison formation, while *C. supremus* is the youngest and largest of the Camarasaurs.

C*. lentus* co-existed with *C. grandis* for several million years, possibly due to different ecological niches as suggested by differences between the two species, however, at a later stage, *C. grandis* disappeared from the rock record, leaving only *C. lentus*. When *C. lentus* too disappeared, C*. supremus* appeared in the uppermost layers with this immediate succession of species, as well as the very close similarity between the two, suggesting that C*. supremus* may have evolved directly from C*. lentus.*

Camarasaurus was first discovered in 1877 by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope. Its name means "chambered lizard", referring to the hollow chambers in its vertebrae.

## Trivia

* Camarasaurus was one of the dinosaurs available in the 2017 Prehistoric Kingdom demo.
* Its one of the six animals which each skin represents a different species, the others being Edmontosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Paraceratherium, Parasaurolophus and Psittacosaurus.
* Camarasaurus shared it's ancient habitat with many other animals appearing in Prehistoric Kingdom, these being: Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Dryosaurus, and Stegosaurus.
