Mussaurus in The Land Before TimeEdit

The Tinysauruses that appear in The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses are Mussaurus. Mussaurus and Plateosaurus are the only prosauropods of the franchise. Unlike their reality counterparts the adults are the same size as the younger Musssaurs. They come in many different colors, but sport the same color scheme as most sauropods do in The Land Before Time universe.
