However, Gantuans only ballooned in size due to competition with other herbivores and swamps are just the dominant environment in the early Hothouse of the late Ultimocene.

* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'': In the 1997 comic series story "At Least That Beast", the gang are called to the Congo after hearing reports of the Mokele Mbembe terrorizing a nearby diamond mine under the command of a witch doctor. Naturally, a sizable portion of the scenes featuring the creature show it swimming in the rivers within the Congo jungle[[spoiler: [[ScoobyDooHoax before it's ultimately revealed to be a disguised mining machine]] that the mine's owner (disguised as the witch doctor for good measure) is using to try to scare away his workers as well as the inhabitants of the nearby village so that he can hoard all the diamonds in the mine for himself]].

* ''Film/KingKong1933'': Played with. An aggressive ''Apatosaurus'' encountered by Carl Denham, Jack Driscoll, and the rest of the crewmen who go after Kong to try to save Anne is first met in a massive lake within one of Skull Island's swamps, where it proceeds to capsize their raft and rough them up. However, this same sauropod turns out to be capable of walking around on land outside of the water when it subsequently chooses to continue chasing after the surviving men after they've already made it out of the water (an especially notable case in that [[AccidentallyCorrectWriting the movie was made at a time when contemporary paleontologists themselves didn't believe as much to be possible]]). Of course, this ''Apatosaur'' is also apparently [[AscendedToCarnivorism a carnivore]], since it eats one of the crew, so its aquatic tendencies are the least of its problems.

"The Fog Horn" isn't a definite example. The monster could be a sauropod, but the description of it as having flipper-like feet is more consistent with it being a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that was not even a dinosaur, much less a sauropod.

* The ''Creator/RayBradbury'' short story ''The Fog Horn'' features one of these as a NotSoExtinct dinosaur. While the exact species isn't made clear, its massive size, amphibiousness, and very long neck are clearly based mainly on sauropods, as it was written in the 1950s, when the idea of them being primarily aquatic was the prevailing one.
