Jobaria
Jobaria was a huge, long-necked plant eater that stomped through the Sahara Desert millions of years ago. It was one of the most complete sauropod skeletons ever found, so scientists know a lot about it!1

Anndal belɗungal
Jobaria is one of the most complete sauropods ever found, with over 95% of its skeleton preserved.1
Its backbone and tail were simpler than those of later sauropods like Diplodocus, which had complex vertebrae and a whiplash tail.1
Scientists think Jobaria could rear up on its hind legs, like elephants can, because its weight was supported more by its back legs.1
Jobaria lived during the Middle Jurassic, about 167 to 161 million years ago, though some sources say Early Cretaceous.12
The name Jobaria comes from a mythical giant beast called Jobar, whose bones some Tuareg people thought the fossils were.1
Jobaria was discovered in 1997 during a four-month expedition led by paleontologist Paul Sereno.1
