Xianshanosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that stomped through ancient China. It had spoon-shaped teeth and a tail that moved like a whip. This gentle giant lived alongside other big dinosaurs in a warm, wet habitat.1

Datos curiosos
Xianshanosaurus had spoon-shaped teeth with a ridge on the tongue side, similar to another sauropod called Euhelopus.1
Its tail vertebrae were procoelous, meaning they had ball-and-socket joints, which made its tail extra flexible.1
Unlike many titanosaurs, its dorsal ribs did not have air holes, and its haemal arches had a closed canal.1
It was large, but smaller than its neighbors Ruyangosaurus and Huanghetitan.1
Scientists think it lived in a group, because the PBDB lists it as gregarious.2
It lived about 121 to 100 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous.2

As preguntas máis frecuentes sobre Xianshanosaurus
?How big was Xianshanosaurus?

?What did Xianshanosaurus eat?
It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. Its spoon-shaped teeth were good for stripping leaves off branches.3

It lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 121 to 100 million years ago.3
Cazamitos
Mito: Some people think Xianshanosaurus was a titanosaur, a type of sauropod with a very flexible tail.
Verdade: Scientists aren't sure. It might be a titanosaur, but some studies say it could be a different kind of sauropod, like a turiasaur or euhelopodid.1
