The Camarasaurus Species Project
« on: June 16, 2011, 09:28:10 PM »

Hello, I'm doing a project on finding and documenting some of the rarer and super-evolved Camarasaurus species in the world.

The first I will be introducing is the dwarf Camarasaurus aquatherius.

They are one of the few Camarasaurus species to live by the ocean, and also the only species with surely-documented harem behavior.  The male has a red underside and accents, and a blue main color.  The females are green, but the traces they have of the male's coloration are in the red jaw and the purple crest above the eyes.  Generally, the males with the brightest colors win the most females.  Due to the excellent weather where they make their homes, breeding season is year-round; the eggs are deposited into the sand, and upon hearing the babies squeaking, females will come running to dig the newborns out for their first view of the world.  This species is mostly herbivorous, but if there is too much competition for foliage, they have been known to scavenge fish.  Very small species, individuals rarely reaching more than 35 inches in height.


And the next, Camarasaurus crocodylus:

Named due to the resemblance to a crocodile in coloration, habitat, diet, and manner.  Curiously, has webbed feet and has been known to be almost entirely aquatic.  Carnivorous and extremely aggressive-- the only time individuals will ever clash with each other on purpose is during mating season.  After several months of life with hatchlings, the mother Camarasaurus crocodylus will kick the hatchlings out, and they will have to compete with each other for territory and dominance.  Sizes vary in this species, anywhere from approximately three feet to eight feet in height.


More information will be coming as I discover more species!

Crewella-- mainly around the Everglades in Florida.  You should be safe ;)


I managed to find and photograph one of my favorite species-- the Camarasaurus polaris.

As would be expected, it's a polar creature, living just about anywhere in the arctic circle.  Although they're generally solitary, they're not aggressive or 'anti-social.'  Even so, it's still dangerous to approach one in the wild, as they stand at about ten feet tall and charge easily.  They're omnivorous, though you will rarely see one hunting, as they normally resort to scavenging if they need meat.  Their coloration helps them to be camouflaged against their one main predator... information coming soon.... ;)

The main predator of the Camarasaurus polaris, the super-evolved predatory Camarasaurus sharing the same habitat-- Camarasaurus lupis!

This fierce predator hunts in packs, generally between four and twenty members.  They are highly intelligent, and have a complex social system.  They are not to be messed with, ever-- they're fast-moving and very strong, and their intelligence aids them in finding ways to trick and trap prey.   There's a lot of color variation in this species, ranging from dull browns to grays to blacks.  Generally, they stand at about three feet tall.  At night, it's a pleasure to stay safely inside your shelter and listen to the eerie song-like howling of the Camarasaurus lupis.  They can be found wherever there are Camarasaurus polaris, though they are an elusive species.

Fun idea! I like the Camarasaurus lupis best (since I love wolves and dogs). Maybe under the Camarasaurus crocodylus picture you should write "do not try this at home", don't want any pleo owners taking their pleos for a swim :).
