    The dodo did something similar (in relation to reduced egg numbers), laying just one egg per mating cycle.
    Hmm, I wonder did the dwarf titanosaurs assign a 'guard parent' like some crocodilians that nest communally do today?

    Ooooh yes I remember seeing that once :D I had totally forgotten- for some reason I was thinking of crocodiles, trying to remember a case of them guarding other's young, and never thought of caimans. :o
