Some people may have looked twice on Sunday (January 15) when they saw a dinosaur in the flooded River Avon near Bristol. However, they need not have feared as the Diplodocus is quite at home at Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park's Dinosaur Valley.
Rising water has partly submerged the prehistoric beast which is located on their riverside walk. Weighing as much as 113 tons and up to 52 metres long, Diplodocus' were very large, long-necked, quadrupedal animals, with long, whip-like tails.
And because their bodies were so big, scientists argued that their legs couldn't have supported their weight on land so were depicted as water dwellers.
