There has been some suggestion that these giant plant eaters were aquatic. In that case, the water would have supported much of the weight.

They are not found with aquatic fossils, but rather with coniferous forest fossils. They are not adapted for water... their foot bones are definitely those of land walkers, not mire plodders.
