Behavior

Argentinosaurus are immense creatures, trekking their way through open fields with grace. They typically live in their own little world, ignoring most creatures inhibiting their space due to their great size. Although, smaller creatures do tend to surprise Argentinosaurus, causing them to stumble about and shake the floor beneath them. They tend to enjoy traveling with a partner, Argentinosaurus that suffer from loneliness tend to have a shorter life span compared to those that get to spend their days with a groupmate.

Recommended behaviors

╸Argentinosaurus do not get aggressive easily.

Mating

Male Argentinosaurus will fight during mating season, bashing their necks together in a battle of endurance. The males who prove to be strongest are typically allowed by the females to mate. Female Argentinosaurus tend to run away from males during mating season and males will need to pursue until the female is ready to mate, the long game of cat and mouse will last days before the female is ready to mate.

Nesting & offspring

Once an Argentinosaurus is ready to lay her eggs, she will seek a quiet place away from her partner and any predators. She will build a nest and put many days of work into making sure everything is perfect for her young. Young Argentinosaurus are very clumsy, noisy babies. Everything is out to get them due to them being such an easy meal. An Argentinosaurus mother will tend to trample her own babies in a panic when something attacks, due to her great size and inability to protect her young without harming it.
