Sacisaurus

Naam beteken: “Saci lizard, after the one-legged creature from Brazilian folklore”1
Het geëet: PlantePlantvreters met snawelsLaat Trias

Sacisaurus was a small, fast plant-eater that lived in Brazil about 225 million years ago. It had a beak-like jaw and leaf-shaped teeth for munching on tough plants. This dinosaur got its name because scientists found 35 right thigh bones but only one left one, just like the one-legged Saci from Brazilian stories.1

Prettige feite

1

Sacisaurus was a small dinosaur, only about 1.1 metres (3.6 feet) long and 35 centimetres (1.15 feet) tall at the hips.1

2

Its biggest teeth were just 3 millimetres (0.12 inches) long, perfect for nibbling plants.1

3

Sacisaurus had long, strong legs that made it a fast runner, able to dart away from predators.1

4

The tip of its lower jaw had a beak-like bone that looks like the predentary bone found in ornithischian dinosaurs.1

5

Scientists found 35 right thigh bones but only one left thigh bone, which is why they named it after the one-legged Saci.1

6

Sacisaurus lived during the Late Triassic period, about 225 million years ago, in what is now southern Brazil.1

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Sacisaurus

?Is Sacisaurus a dinosaur?

Scientists are not sure. It is a silesaurid dinosauriform, which means it is a close relative of dinosaurs, but it is not classified as a dinosaur.13

?What did Sacisaurus eat?

Sacisaurus was an herbivore, meaning it ate plants. It had leaf-shaped teeth with large denticles and a beak-like jaw tip to help it chew tough plants.12

?How fast could Sacisaurus run?

Nobody knows the exact speed, but its long, strong legs and elongate hindlimbs suggest it was a fast runner with good cursorial ability.12

?Why is it called Sacisaurus?

It is named after Saci, a one-legged creature from Brazilian folklore, because scientists found 35 right thigh bones but only one left thigh bone among the fossils.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Sacisaurus was a true dinosaur.

Waarheid: Most scientists now place Sacisaurus in Silesauridae, a group of dinosaur-like reptiles that are close relatives but not true dinosaurs. A few studies suggest it might be a very early ornithischian dinosaur, but this is debated.12

Ontdekking
Sacisaurus was discovered in 2001 near Agudo, Brazil, by a team led by paleontologist Jorge Ferigolo. The species was officially named in 2006 in the journal Historical Biology.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists still debate whether Sacisaurus was a non-dinosaur dinosauromorph or one of the earliest ornithischian dinosaurs.12
