Hechuan Mamenxi Dragon
One of the largest sauropod dinosaurs found in China, its fossils were found at the Mamingxi Ferry Port in Yibin City, and it was scientifically identified as a sauropod suborder. The total length of this genus is about 22 meters, and the body height is nearly 7 meters. Its neck is particularly long, equivalent to half the length of the body, not only making up the length of each cervical vertebrae of the neck, but also as many as 19 cervical vertebrae, which is the largest of the sauropods. The neck is also the longest of all dinosaurs (the longest neck can reach 12.1 meters). Compared with the cervical spine, there are relatively few dorsal, recommended and caudal vertebrae.
Mamen Xilong has the longest neck in the world, if it is compared with the giraffe, the giraffe will lose miserably, its neck is a total of 11-14 meters. The neck of the Mammonian is supported by long, overlapping cervical vertebrae, so it is very stiff and rotates very slowly. The muscles around its neck were quite strong, supporting its small snake-like head.

Tuojiang Dragon /Sichuan Dragon
Sichuan dragon ( scientific name Szechuanosaurus ) refers to a species of dinosaur belonging to the Family Thoratophyllaceae. It lived in Asia in the late Jurassic period. Its appearance is a bit like a small Allosaurus, weighing about 100-150 kg and about 8 meters long. The Sichuan Dragon was a highly equipped and fierce predator of the Late Luo Dynasty wandering in the Sichuan Basin. Its tail is thick and long, with large and strong hind legs, but small and short forearms, each with three sharply bearing fingers. The Sichuan dragon had a large mouth of blood basin, and the mouth was full of large, firm poisonous teeth that were not only sharp, but also bent backwards and barbs, and the meat used to open the prey could prevent the meat from falling out during chewing
From the neck, back ridge to tail, Tuojiang Dragon grows 15 pairs of triangular back plates, which are sharper than the back plates of Stegosaurus, and their function is to defend against incoming enemies. At the end of its short, robust tail, there are two pairs of sharp spines that rise upwards, and the Tuojiang Dragon can use its tail to slam all carnivorous enemies who dare to approach.
The back panels of Tuojiang Dragon can be used to absorb sunlight, and they are like solar panels, which can absorb heat. When the temperature of the blood in the back plate rises, the heat flows through the blood vessels throughout the body, helping Tuojianglong to increase the temperature of its body
