Het geëet: PlanteLangnekkeLaat Kryt

Igai was a giant, long-necked plant-eater that stomped through what is now Egypt about 74 million years ago. It was a titanosaur, a group of sauropods known for their huge bodies and small heads. Even though it was big, it was actually one of the smaller titanosaurs!12

Prettige feite

1

Igai had air sacs inside its backbone bones, making them light and spongy, which helped it grow so large.2

2

Its fifth metacarpal (a bone in the hand) had two unique bumps on the inner side that no other titanosaur has.2

3

Igai was more slender than many other titanosaurs, with leg bones that were relatively thin and graceful.2

4

The first and second metatarsals (foot bones) had deep grooves on their upper surfaces, a feature not seen in other titanosaurs.2

5

Igai lived about 74 million years ago, during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.2

6

Igai was probably bigger than its close relative Mansourasaurus, which was about 8 to 10 metres long.2

?How big was Igai?

Igai was about 10 to 15 metres long, which is bigger than its relative Mansourasaurus at 8 to 10 metres.21

?What did Igai eat?

Igai was a plant-eater, like all sauropods. It used its long neck to reach leaves and plants.2

?When did Igai live?

Igai lived about 74 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.21

Mite-breker

Mite: Igai was a giant, slow-moving beast like other sauropods.

Waarheid: Igai was actually relatively small and slender for a titanosaur, and its limb bones suggest it was quite agile for its size.2

Ontdekking
Fossils of Igai were first found in 1977 by German scientists in the Kharga Oasis, Egypt. It was named and described in 2023 by Gorscak and colleagues.23
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are still debating whether Igai was fully grown when it died, because some bones suggest it might not have been completely mature.1
