The Jobaria was an herbivorous dinosaur who lived during the Lower Cretaceous period, although some now think it may have been the Jurassic period. It had a shorter neck and tail than many sauropods of its age. It may also have been able to rear up on its hind legs as the weight distribution of Jobaria indicates that it was supported by the rear limbs rather than the forelimbs (as in elephants) and is speculated that as elephants can rear up, then Jobaria would have been able to more easily.
