Dino Myths. Among the longest land animals! Diplodocus was a long-necked, whip-tailed giant, measuring about 90 feet (27 m) long with a 26 foot (8 m) long neck and a 45 foot (14 m) long tail, but its head was less than 2 feet long. It was among the longest land animals ever.
Thanks to a ludicrously long neck, it stood 17m (55 ft) tall, but relatively few fossils of it have been found. Its estimated height is largely based on the more complete remains of Giraffatitan brancai, which once held the biggest dinosaur title.
