Re: The bigger they were...

Probably the biggest problem with the sauropod wading theory is not the 
columnular legs, but the compact feet.  I might agree that they wade every 
now and then if their feet spread wide, but instead they have small compact 
feet that the whole body weight was focused on.  These would sink into the 
mud on the river/ lake bottoms quickly, leaving the hapless sauropod 
hoplessly mired.
