Prettige feite

Kotasaurus is one of the earliest and most primitive sauropods known.1

Fossils from at least 12 different Kotasaurus individuals have been found together in one spot.1

Kotasaurus had a tail club, which it may have used to fight other dinosaurs or defend itself.1

Its thigh bone was straight and oval in cross-section, like later giant sauropods.1

No skull has been found, only two teeth, so scientists are not sure what its head looked like.1

Kotasaurus lived alongside another early sauropod called Barapasaurus.1
