Prettige feite

Vahiny is only known from a partial braincase, which is the part of the skull that holds the brain.1

Its name means 'traveller' in the Malagasy language of Madagascar.1

Vahiny lived alongside another titanosaur called Rapetosaurus, which was much more common.1

The braincase of Vahiny looks most like that of Jainosaurus, a titanosaur from India.1

Vahiny shared its home with the meat-eating dinosaurs Majungasaurus and Masiakasaurus.1

The area where Vahiny lived was a coastal floodplain with wet and dry seasons.1
