The Sauropodomorphs belong to a group of dinosaurs called Saurischia (from the Greek meaning "lizard hip"). The major group within Sauropodomorpha is the Sauropods meaning reptile-footed. The Sauropods walked on four legs (quadrupedal) and were plant eaters (herbivores) They are further characterized by having very long necks and tails.
There is a graphic description of an animal in the Bible called Behemoth, which is believed by some to be a Sauropod. It is described as an immense land animal with a tail like a cedar.
Behemoth - Job 40:15-19 Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword.
