    I would assume it depended on the species.

    That article makes no sense. Ostriches have very flexible necks.

    That's what I thought XD I don`t think sauropod necks were ever thought to be MORE flexible than ostrich necks...

    I think it was just whoever wrote the article got mixed up. I've checked other sources and they cite the same research but state that it says that sauropod necks were not ostrich like.
