Datos curiosos

1

Cetiosaurus was named in 1841 by Sir Richard Owen, the same scientist who later invented the word 'dinosaur'. Owen thought it was a giant sea crocodile, not a land dinosaur.1

2

Its name means 'whale lizard' because Owen believed it was a marine reptile. We now know it was a long-necked dinosaur that walked on land.1

3

Cetiosaurus had a shorter neck and tail than many other sauropods, but its front legs were as long as its back legs.1

4

The first Cetiosaurus fossils were found near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, England, in the early 1800s.1

5

A nearly complete skeleton called the 'Rutland Dinosaur' was discovered in 1968 in a clay pit in Rutland, England. It took two years to identify it as Cetiosaurus.1

6

Cetiosaurus was about 16 to 18 metres long (52 to 59 feet) and weighed around 11 tonnes (12 short tons). That's as heavy as two African elephants!12
