> long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur called a titanosaur, potentially the largest ever unearthed. I know the sauropods were mostly vegetarian but I can't help but figure that an animal of that size must have inadvertently swallowed a fair number of smaller animals.
Did scientists ever figure out how sauropods ate enough to support their mass, with their tiny mouths?

"Skip" is British English for "container" [1]. Of course they come in various sizes, so it means anything from 1.5 m³ to just over 6 m³. A very rough measure, in other words, which makes sense in context. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_(container)
"Skip" is actually British English for "dumpster"
D'oh! Killed by a false friend [1]! Thanks.
("Container" is both "container" and "dumpster" in Swedish, and it's pronounced pretty much as "container" in English since it's a loan word, but the meanings have diverged, I guess.)
