For instance, dry patches more than three feet across still had bare centers even after 20 years, largely due to wind erosion.

The enormity of these long-necked brontosaurs some weighing as much as 70 to 80 tons was matched only by whales, so early paleontologists assumed sauropods also must have been aquatic animals. ...Electronic tags reveal transatlantic migrations and breeding grounds of Atlantic bluefin tuna
