It had along, horizontal tail meant for balance or protection, and an extended, sturdy neck, good for reaching high into trees.

It had four thick, strong legs designed for holding its intense weight up instead of moving fast. But then again, why would it need to be fast? It was big and strong enough to keep nearly any predator away. It also most likely travelled in herds from place to place, finding wherA pack of Giganotosaurus attacking an Argentinosaurus
