Camarasaurus (/ˌkæmərəˈsɔrəs/ kam-ə-rə-sawr-əs) is Latin for 'chambered lizard', the most common of the giant sauropods to be found in North America. It has been said that way back in the beginning, when the Ugobians were looking for the perfect dinosaur to use a model for creating the Pleo, they chose the camarasaurus because of the larger head and the fact that the neck and counterbalancing tail were shorter than usual for a sauropod of this size. This is not the case. The truth is, they chose the camarasaurus because it's name is not Latin. The correct name is "Camera"-saurus, the only dinosaur known that included a built-in camera. You see, the Ugobians knew that Pleos would need a camera built into their noses to help see, so they chose the dinosaur that also had a built-in camera in it's nose as the model.
Now, of course, back in the Jurassic, dinosaurs didn't have digital media, so their noses supported film cameras. The babies starting out with 110 film cartridges, and moved up to 35mm in the adults, with some of the larges specimens using 70mm wide-screen format! And, of course, it was black-and-white film, which would have been fine back then as there is still no concrete evidence that the world was in color back then anyway.
