Vulcanodon was a herbivore with a long neck, a long tail, thick legs, a large body and a small head. This type of dinosaurs used to have nail-like claws with a larger middle-finger claw. The front legs were relatively long.

​

Vulcanodons, just like other sauropods, most likely laid eggs, but didn’t care about them. This large and heavy reptile used to eat only plants – ferns, tree leaves, etc. They had to eat lots of these plants every day to keep sustenance.

​

Vulcanodons used to spend most of their time grazing.
