Enigmacursor is known from a single, unusually complete skeleton, but the skull is still missing.1
Its closest relative is Yandusaurus hongheensis, a dinosaur from the Late Jurassic of China.3
The name 'Enigmacursor' means 'puzzling runner' because scientists were confused for a long time about small plant-eaters from the Morrison Formation.1
It lived between 152 and 145 million years ago, during the Late Jurassic Period.1
Enigmacursor was a neornithischian dinosaur, a group of beaked, plant-eating ornithischians.2

Enigmacursor was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. It likely fed on ferns and cycads that grew on the floodplains where it lived.1
?When did Enigmacursor live?
Enigmacursor lived during the Late Jurassic Period, about 152 to 145 million years ago. It shared its home with dinosaurs like Diplodocus and Stegosaurus.1
?Where was Enigmacursor found?
Enigmacursor was found in Colorado, USA, in a famous fossil site called the Morrison Formation. It lived on ancient floodplains and riverbanks.1
Seenaa sobaa diigaa
Seenaa sobaa: Many small dinosaur fossils from the Morrison Formation were thought to be different species like Nanosaurus, Laosaurus and Drinker.
Dhugaa: Scientists now think those fossils are not distinct enough to name, and only Enigmacursor is a valid species.1
