Grippia

Naam beteken: “Grippia means 'little griffin' or 'gripping one'.”1

Het geëet: VleisIgtiosourusseVroeë Trias tot Middel-TriasTegnies nie 'n dinosourus nie

Grippia was a small, dolphin-like marine reptile that lived in the Early Triassic seas. It swam by wiggling its tail like an eel and was one of the earliest ichthyosaurs.1

Prettige feit: hierdie seereptiel het geswem terwyl dinosourusse op land geloop het. Almal noem hulle dino's, maar hulle was 'n ander tak van die reptiele.

Prettige feite

Grippia is one of the smallest ichthyosaurs, only about 1 to 1.5 metres long.1

The first complete skull of Grippia was found in 1929 but was destroyed during a bombing raid in World War II.1

Grippia swam by moving its tail side to side, just like a modern eel.1

It lived about 250 to 235 million years ago, during the Early to Middle Triassic.1

Grippia is considered the most basal (early) ichthyosaur, meaning it had a more primitive body than later species.1

No complete skeleton of Grippia has ever been found, only partial skulls and bones.1

KI-prent van Grippia — 'n KI-prent van hoe Grippia dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Grippia

?What did Grippia eat?

Scientists are not sure. Its teeth suggest it may have eaten both plants and animals (omnivore), or maybe molluscs and small fish. No one will know for certain until a full skull is found.1

?Where did Grippia live?

Grippia lived in shallow coastal seas during the Early Triassic. Its fossils have been found in Greenland, China, Japan, Norway, and Canada.1

?How did Grippia swim?

Grippia swam by moving its tail side to side, just like a modern eel.1

?Is Grippia a dinosaur?

No, Grippia is not a dinosaur. It is an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea.1 2
