Chilesaurus was a small, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in Chile about 150 million years ago. It had a beak like a bird and teeth shaped like leaves for slicing plants. Scientists were surprised to find that it was a plant-eater because its body looked a lot like a meat-eater's.2

Prettige feite

1

Chilesaurus was first discovered by a seven-year-old boy named Diego Suárez in 2004. The species name 'diegosuarezi' honors him.2

2

It had a beak at the front of its mouth, similar to a bird's beak, which it used to crop plants.1

3

Chilesaurus walked on two legs and had a long tail to help it balance.2

4

Its hips looked like those of a bird-hipped dinosaur, such as Stegosaurus or Triceratops, even though its body was built like a meat-eater.2

5

Scientists think Chilesaurus is a 'missing link' between meat-eating dinosaurs and early plant-eaters.2

6

Chilesaurus lived during the Late Jurassic Period, about 150 million years ago.2

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Chilesaurus

?How big was Chilesaurus?

About 3.2 metres (10.5 feet) long as an adult, and a young one was about 1.6 metres (5.2 feet) long.3

?What did Chilesaurus eat?

It was a plant-eater. Its spatula-shaped teeth were good for slicing leaves and foliage.32

?When did Chilesaurus live?

It lived about 150 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic Period.23

?Who discovered Chilesaurus?

A seven-year-old boy named Diego Suárez discovered the first fossils in 2004 in Chile. The species name honors him.23

?Is Chilesaurus a missing link?

Many scientists think it is a missing link between meat-eating dinosaurs and early plant-eaters, because it has features of both groups.24

?Did Chilesaurus have feathers?

The sources do not mention feathers on Chilesaurus, so we do not know for sure.32

Mite-breker

Mite: Chilesaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur because it had a body like a theropod.

Waarheid: Chilesaurus was actually a plant-eater. Its teeth and jaws were adapted for slicing plants, not meat.2

Ontdekking
The first fossils were found in 2004 by seven-year-old Diego Suárez in Chile. The dinosaur was named and described by a team of scientists in 2015.2
Steeds omstrede
Scientists still debate exactly where Chilesaurus fits on the dinosaur family tree. Some think it is a very early plant-eating dinosaur, while others see it as a strange meat-eater that changed its diet.2
