The Size of Njor the Camarasaurus
Njor the Camarasaurus belongs to the Sauropoda. According to scientific research on the fossils, its body length was set to 20 meters to scale down when we did reconstruction.
The Head of Njor the Camarasaurus
The head of Camarasaurus was not as gracile as that of Diplodocus, but rather large and deep with an arched top. Its nostrils were relatively low, so the nasal cavities were very bulged. It might have a hard keratinous beak at the anterior of its mouth.
The Body of Njor the Camarasaurus
Njor the Camarasaurus had a stout body with a broad chest and abdomen. Its shoulders were tall, allowing it to lift its not-too-long neck to a higher level to gather food and reduce competition with its peers.
The Limbs of Njor the Camarasaurus
The limbs of Njor the Camarasaurus were robust. Its forelimbs were relatively slimmer than the hind limbs, with five fingers fused to form a hoof. Its hind limbs had five toes, but the last two had been significantly degenerated. It also had a thick tail.
