Most had very long necks and long, whip-like tails; however, one family (the dicraeosaurids ) are the only known sauropods to have re-evolved a short ...
Diplodocus, depicted with spines limited to the mid-line of the back. Diplodocids were generally large animals, even by sauropod standards. Thanks to their long necks and tails, diplodocids were among the longest sauropods, with some species such as Supersaurus vivianae and Diplodocus hallorum estimated to have reached lengths of 30 meters (100 ft) or more.

Diplodocus ate plants low to the ground and Camarasaurus browsed leaves from top and middle branches. According to the scientists, the specializing of their diets helped the different herbivorous dinosaurs to coexist.
