Pleo Being Left Behind
With all the talk being about Nintendo's Wii Console and the Robosapien RS thingy. The poor little Camarasaurus that is the Pleo Robotic Dinosaur is feeling left out.
The only developments is that Ugobe have updated their website with some information about the original dinosaur. Such as:
CAMARASAURUS (KAM-ah-rah-sawr-us) "Chambered Lizard" (Greek kamara = chamber + sauros = lizard, referring to the holes in its vertebrae)
Also Known As: Morosaurus
Description: Herbivore, Quadrupedal
Order: Saurischia
Suborder: Sauropodomorpha
Infraorder: Sauropoda
Family: Camarasauridae
Height: 23 feet (7 meters)
Length: 60 feet (18.3 meters)
Weight: 40,000 lbs (18,144 kg)

Also they inform us that the Camarasaurus is the best-known sauropod found in North America and gives us the most abundant supply of fossils in the Late Jurassic.
People this side of the pond my also like to know that the Camarasaurus lived in Europe too, where it survived into Early Cretaceous times.
