Datos curiosos

1

Asilisaurus is one of the oldest known bird-line archosaurs, meaning it is more closely related to dinosaurs and birds than to crocodiles.2

2

Its name comes from the Swahili word 'asili' meaning ancestor or foundation, and the Greek word 'sauros' meaning lizard.1

3

Fossils of at least 14 individuals were found together in a bonebed in Tanzania.1

4

Asilisaurus had a beak at the tip of its snout, similar to some plant-eating dinosaurs that came later.1

5

Scientists think Asilisaurus walked on all four legs because its front and back legs were similar in length.1

6

The teeth of Asilisaurus were peg-like and had tiny serrations, which helped it chew plants.1
