Prettige feite
Nanshiungosaurus had a very long neck with unusually strong back bones, and its hips were wide and bulky.2
When it was first discovered in 1974, scientists thought it was a weird dwarf sauropod, not a therizinosaur.2
It lived alongside the long-snouted tyrannosaur Qianzhousaurus and many oviraptorosaurs like Banji and Corythoraptor.2
Nanshiungosaurus was one of the last therizinosaurs to exist, living just before the dinosaur extinction.2
Its name comes from Nanxiong, the city near where its fossils were found, and the Greek word for lizard.2
Only the backbone and pelvis of Nanshiungosaurus have been found, so no one knows what its head looked like.1
