Ebyewuunyisa

Morrosaurus is one of the few dinosaurs known from Antarctica, showing that dinosaurs lived on every continent.1

Its leg bones suggest it was a fast runner, with a slender, tightly bunched foot that helped it sprint.1 3

Morrosaurus belonged to a group called Elasmaria, which also included dinosaurs from Patagonia and Australia, showing they shared a common land connection.3

The only known fossil is a partial right hind leg, including parts of the thigh, shin, and foot.1

It lived in a cool, temperate rainforest with high rainfall, very different from the icy Antarctica we know today.3

Ekifaananyi kya Morrosaurus ekyakolebwa AI, nga kiraga engeri gye yayinza okuba ng'afaanana, ekyakolebwa kompyuta okusinziira ku ebyo bannassaayansi bye bamanyi. Kuteebereza: ekisolo ekyennyini kiyinza okuba nga kyali kifaanana bulala, era tewali amanyi langi zaakyo ez'amazima.

Omumenyi w'enfumo

Enfumo: Some people think dinosaurs never lived in Antarctica because it is too cold.

Amazima: Morrosaurus and other dinosaurs lived in Antarctica when it was warmer and covered in forests, during the Late Cretaceous.1 3
