Ibirania
Ibirania was a tiny sauropod, one of the smallest long-necked dinosaurs ever found. It lived in a dry, inland part of Brazil about 80 million years ago. Despite its small size, it had air-filled bones just like its giant relatives.12

Datos curiosos
Its bones were extremely hollow and filled with air sacs, like a bird's, which helped make it lighter.1
Scientists found fossilised parasites inside the bone canals of one Ibirania leg bone, the first time such parasites have been seen in a dinosaur.1
One Ibirania specimen had a bone infection called acute osteomyelitis, which scientists studied using CT scans and thin slices of the bone.1
Ibirania lived in a dry, inland environment, and its small size may have been an adaptation to scarce resources, not island life like other dwarf sauropods.1

As preguntas máis frecuentes sobre Ibirania
?How big was Ibirania?
About 5.7 metres (18.7 feet) long, making it one of the smallest sauropods ever found.12
?What did Ibirania eat?
It was a plant-eater. Its name means 'tree wanderer,' which hints that it browsed on trees and shrubs.1
?Did Ibirania have feathers?
No, it did not. Ibirania was a sauropod, and sauropods had scaly skin, not feathers.1

Scientists think its small size was an adaptation to living in a dry, inland environment with scarce resources, not because it lived on an island.1
