Ikqaumishan
Ikqaumishan was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that stomped around what is now Pakistan and India near the very end of the dinosaur age. It belonged to a group called titanosaurs, which included some of the biggest land animals ever. It probably used its long neck to munch leaves high in trees.21

Ikqaumishan is known from a partial upper arm bone called a humerus, which was found in Pakistan.2
It lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian age, which is the very last part of the dinosaur era.2
Its upper arm bone had a special ridge that was straight and set inward, which is different from many other titanosaurs.1
The place where it was found was near the equator about 9 degrees south, so it lived in a warm, tropical area.1
Ikqaumishan is one of several new titanosaurs described from Pakistan in 2023, showing that this region had many giant plant-eaters.1
Its fossils were found in rocks that formed in a river environment, so it probably walked along ancient floodplains.2
