Magyarosaurus is a dwarf Sauropod Dinosaur from Hațeg Island, 65 million years ago. It appears in the Episode “The Great Survivors” and is mentioned to be a fraction of the size of it’s mainland relative, Ampelosaurus and weighs at least 70 times less than its cousin, Argentinosaurus. Its size has to do with the fact that on Hațeg Island, there just isn’t enough vegetation to support a large plant-eater. As a result, Magyarosaurus, along with other plant-eaters on Hateg Island like Telmatosaurus and Zalmoxes, adapted to the conditions. Magyarosaurus is the main food source for the Mighty Hatzegopteryx and also lives along side the Alvarezsaur, Bradycneme. Magyarosaurus was shown to be the first of the Island dinosaurs to become affected by the impact.

Magyarosaurus is a dwarf sauropod from Europe, about 85-65 million years ago. It appears in the Episode “The Great Survivors” and is mentioned to be a fraction of the size of it’s relative, Ampelosaurus and weighs much, much, much less than it's cousin, Argentinosaurus. Magyarosaurus, along with other plant-eaters like Telmatosaurus and Zalmoxes roamed Europe. Magyarosaurus is the main food source for Hatzegopteryx. It also lives along side the Alvarezsaur, Bradycneme. Magyarosaurus weighed about 2,200 pounds, or 1 tonne. The reason that Magyrosaurus was so small compared to other sauropods was because of insular dwarfism, in which organisms that evolve on an island eventually become smaller than their mainland cousins.
