Meet sauropod dinosaurs, the biggest land-dwelling creature ever to walk the Earth. The sauropod's weight could've stressed these huge animals out. But instead of going on a diet, the dinos carried their massive bodies safely, thanks to a special spine.
by Elizabeth Wason

Too Big to Fail story can be found here.

Scientific paper: "Polarity of concavo-convex intervertebral joints in the necks and tails of sauropod dinosaurs".
