The question of mass and structural support is interesting. I would be interested to see a scientific paper that addressed that issue. The Argentinosaurus has 10 times more massive than a Savannah Elephant.

Please call me chrissy, thank you.
The evidence just points to "a Sauropod is not able to raise its neck too high because of a left ventrical pressure if it lifts its head too high", but that doesn't discount the fact it has a long neck and it ate lower to the ground.
They are still finding out new things about many dinosaurs, and when that mummy was found, it gave evidence that the dinosaurs were much larger.
