Naam beteken: “named after the Mongolian Buddhist monk and scholar Zanabazar”1

Zanabazar was a smart, bird-like dinosaur that lived in what is now Mongolia. It had a big brain for its size and sharp claws for hunting. This troodontid was one of the largest of its kind, with a skull as long as a school ruler!2 1

Prettige feite

Zanabazar's skull was 272 mm long, making it the largest known troodontid skull.2

It lived during the Maastrichtian age, about 72 to 66 million years ago, right before the dinosaurs went extinct.2

Zanabazar was originally named Saurornithoides junior in 1974, but was given its own genus in 2009.2 1

Its brain was smaller than that of its relative Troodon, even though Zanabazar was bigger.1

Zanabazar had a special hole in its skull called a posttemporal fenestra, which helped lighten the head.2

It laid eggs, like all troodontids, and probably took care of its babies.2

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

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Zanabazar was a dromaeosaur like Velociraptor.

Waarheid: Zanabazar is actually a troodontid, a different group of bird-like dinosaurs that were probably smarter and had bigger brains.2

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Zanabazar
Benoem deur: Norell et al. 20094
Groep: Raptors
Familie / klade: Troodontidae4
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Troodontidae4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)4
Rotsformasies: Nemegt4
Lande: Mongolië4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: The first fossil was found in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia and named Saurornithoides junior by Barsbold in 1974. In 2009, Norell and colleagues gave it its own genus, Zanabazar.2 1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how big Zanabazar was, because only one skull and some bones have been found.2
