Liaoningosaurus
Liaoningosaurus was a tiny armoured dinosaur that lived in what is now China. It was so small that a full-grown one was only about as long as a ruler! Scientists think it might have been able to swim and eat fish, which is very unusual for an armoured dinosaur.12

Liaoningosaurus ЧАМТАЙ харьцуулахад хэр том байсан бэ?
Зүгээр л хөтөч доторх тооцоо. Юу ч хадгалагдахгүй, хаашаа ч илгээгдэхгүй.

Сонирхолтой баримтууд
Liaoningosaurus is the smallest known armoured dinosaur. The first fossil found was only 34 centimetres (about 13 inches) long.2
It had a large bony plate on its belly that looked like a shell. No other armoured dinosaur has such a plate.2
Some scientists think Liaoningosaurus could swim. Its skeleton has features that might help it paddle in water.1
Fossilized fish bones were found inside the stomach of one Liaoningosaurus. This suggests it ate fish, which is rare for an armoured plant-eater.1
Liaoningosaurus lived about 125 to 119 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period.3
It is the oldest known armoured dinosaur that had a tail club. The tail club could have been used for defence.1
More than 20 fossils of Liaoningosaurus have been found, all from young animals. No adult has been discovered yet.1

Some scientists think so. Fish bones were found inside the stomach of one fossil, but not all experts agree it ate fish.1
