Datos curiosos

1

Enigmosaurus means 'enigmatic lizard' because its pelvis was so weird that scientists were confused about what kind of dinosaur it was.1

2

It was a therizinosaur, a group of dinosaurs that were plant-eaters but had long claws like meat-eaters.1

3

The only known fossil of Enigmosaurus is a well-preserved pelvis and a few other bones, so we don't know what its head looked like.1

4

Some scientists think Enigmosaurus might be the same animal as another dinosaur called Erlikosaurus, but most now think they are different.1

5

Enigmosaurus lived about 96 to 89 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

6

It was a medium-sized dinosaur, about 5 meters (16 feet) long and weighing as much as a small car.1
