Only a partial skull and some bones of the body have been found, so scientists are not sure how big it really was.1
One estimate says Claosaurus was about 3.7 metres (12 feet) long and weighed as much as a lion.1
Claosaurus probably died on land, then was washed into the sea and sank to the bottom.2
