Savannasaurus was a medium-sized titanosaur sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 95 million years ago, in what is now Queensland, Australia. This long-necked herbivore measured roughly 50 feet (15 meters) in length and is known for its wide hips and robust build, which gave it a broad stance—possibly an adaptation for walking across soft, muddy terrain in ancient floodplains.
Discovered in 2005 and formally described in 2016, Savannasaurus is an important find because it helped fill gaps in our understanding of how titanosaurs dispersed across Gondwana. Its close relationship to South American sauropods suggests that these massive dinosaurs were moving between continents longer than previously believed. As a plant-eater, it likely fed on ferns, conifers, and flowering plants, helping to shape its ecosystem in the prehistoric Australian outback.
