Napaisaurus was a plant-eating dinosaur that walked on two legs. It lived in what is now southern China during the Early Cretaceous period, about 120 million years ago. It was one of the first of its kind found in that part of the world.1 2

Prettige feite

Napaisaurus is the first named basal iguanodontian dinosaur from southern China.1 2

Its fossils are only a right ilium and a right ischium, which are hip bones.1 4

The bones were discovered in 2020, and scientists named the dinosaur in 2022.1 2

Napaisaurus lived alongside sauropods, theropods, and possible psittacosaurids in the same area.2

Scientists think Napaisaurus can help show how dinosaurs in southern China were related to those in Thailand and northern China.1 2

KI-prent van Napaisaurus — 'n KI-prent van hoe Napaisaurus 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.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Napaisaurus
Benoem deur: Ji and Zhang 20224
Groep: Plantvreters met snawels
Familie / klade: Styracosterna4
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Ornithopoda > Iguanodontia4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 121 tot 113 miljoen jaar (Aptian)4
Rotsformasies: Xinlong4
Lande: China4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: In 2020, a right ilium and ischium were found in the Napai Basin. Scientists Ji and Zhang named the dinosaur Napaisaurus guangxiensis in 2022.1 4
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are still debating whether Napaisaurus is really a separate species or might be the same as another dinosaur called Sirindhorna, because only a few bones are known.1
