		Mamenchisaurus was a long-necked, long-tailed, quadrupedal, plant-eating dinosaur.
		Mamenchisaurus was a sauropod, whose intelligence (as measured by its relative brain to body weight, or EQ) was the among the lowest of the dinosaurs.
		Mamenchisaurus moved slowly on four legs (as determined from fossilized tracks and its leg length and estimated mass).

		Mamenchisaurus is a sauropod dinosaur, which means it was an herbivorous dinosaur characterized by a large size, an elongated neck and tail, and four pillar-like limbs.
		Mamenchisaurus is characterized by an extraordinarily long neck, which accounts for 11 metres of the creature’s total body length of 22 metres.
		Mamenchisaurus is thus the longest sauropod dinosaur found in Asia to date, the latest specimen found reaching a total length of 26 metres.
