Prettige feite

Borealosaurus lived about 106 to 100 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

Its name comes from the Greek word for the north wind, because it was found in northern China.1

Only a few bones of Borealosaurus have been found, including tail vertebrae.1

Scientists think Borealosaurus was a titanosaur, a group of huge sauropods with wide hips.1

The species name wimani honors Carl Wiman, a Swedish paleontologist who named the first dinosaur from China.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Borealosaurus

?What did Borealosaurus eat?

It was a plant-eater, or herbivore. It used its long neck to reach leaves and other plants.4
