1

Iyuku is one of only two ornithopod dinosaurs known from the Cretaceous of southern Africa.21

2

All the juvenile Iyuku bones were found in a single, small bonebed, suggesting a group of hatchlings died together.21

3

The name Iyuku comes from the Xhosa language and means 'hatchling', because almost all the fossils are from very young animals.1

4

Iyuku lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 137 to 132 million years ago.4

5

The bonebed where Iyuku was found also contained rare theropod teeth, crocodile teeth, turtle shell fragments, and fish bones.1

6

Scientists think the Iyuku hatchlings died because the climate was becoming drier and more seasonal, which may have caused a drought.21
