Datos curiosos

1

Kunbarrasaurus is one of the most complete armoured dinosaurs ever found, with most of its skeleton and skull preserved.1

2

Its gut contents show it ate fibrous plant parts, seeds, and fruiting bodies, and it probably chopped food in its mouth instead of using stomach stones.1

3

The dinosaur had a ring of scutes around its neck, and its body was covered with small, keeled plates and spikes.1

4

Kunbarrasaurus had a very large inner ear, unlike any other dinosaur known, which may have helped with balance or hearing.2

5

The fossil was found in marine rocks, so the dinosaur may have washed out to sea after death.1

6

It is the second genus of armoured dinosaur from Australia, and its name means 'shield lizard' in the local Aboriginal language.1
