What the name means: European lizard
Europasaurus is a genus of dinosaurs from the family Brachiosauridae, which lived in the late Jurassic period about 154 million years ago in the territory of modern-day Germany. Europasaurus turned out to be one of the smallest sauropods in history. Standing at a withers height of only 170 cm (5.6 ft), this long-necked sauropod was comparable in size to an adult human. They lived on islands that would later become Lower Saxony. Europasaurus fed on ferns, cycads, ginkgoes, and horsetails.
