Segnosaurus
Segnosaurus was a big, slow-moving dinosaur with a small head, a long neck, and huge claws on its hands. It used its beak to nibble plants and its big belly to digest them. Unlike most meat-eating dinosaurs, this one was a gentle giant that ate only plants.1

Prettige feite
Segnosaurus had four toes on each foot, while most other meat-eating dinosaurs had only three.1
Its name means 'slow lizard' because scientists thought it was a slow-moving animal.1
Segnosaurus lived about 102 to 86 million years ago in what is now Mongolia.1
It had a horny beak at the tip of its jaws, like a bird, to help it eat plants.1
Some of its teeth had extra ridges and even a third cutting edge, which is unusual for a plant-eater.1
Segnosaurus was probably covered in simple, fluffy feathers, like its relatives Beipiaosaurus and Jianchangosaurus.1
