ମଜାଦାର ତଥ୍ୟ
Taniwhasaurus belongs to a group called tylosaurines, which had a long, toothless tip on their upper jaw like a bony spear.1
The first fossils of Taniwhasaurus were found in the 1860s at Haumuri Bluff in New Zealand, and named by James Hector in 1874.1
One species, Taniwhasaurus antarcticus, was originally named Lakumasaurus after a sea spirit from the mythology of the Yahgan people of South America.1
A nearly complete skull of Taniwhasaurus antarcticus was discovered on James Ross Island in Antarctica in 2000, measuring 72 centimeters (28 inches) long.1
Taniwhasaurus lived between about 86 and 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2
The species Taniwhasaurus oweni was named in honor of the famous paleontologist Richard Owen, who first described marine reptiles from New Zealand.1
Taniwhasaurus fossils have been found in marine rocks that were once part of ancient seabeds, alongside ammonites, sharks, and other mosasaurs.1

ସବୁଠୁ ବେଶି ପଚରାଯାଉଥିବା ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ: Taniwhasaurus
?How big was Taniwhasaurus?
It was a medium-sized mosasaur, reaching about 6.7 metres (22 feet) long.1
?Could Taniwhasaurus swim?
Yes. Its powerful paddles and flexible spine helped it swim, and its tail gave the main push forward.1
?What did Taniwhasaurus eat?
It hunted fish and other sea creatures. It may have used an electro-sensitive snout to find prey.1
?Is Taniwhasaurus a dinosaur?
No, it is a mosasaur, which is a group of extinct marine lizards that lived alongside dinosaurs.1
?When did Taniwhasaurus go extinct?
It lived during the Late Cretaceous period and died out about 66 million years ago.1
ଭୁଲ ଧାରଣା ଭଙ୍ଗା
ଭୁଲ ଧାରଣା: Some people think Taniwhasaurus was a dinosaur.
ସତ୍ୟ: Taniwhasaurus was a mosasaur, a type of marine lizard, not a dinosaur. Mosasaurs are reptiles that lived in the sea and are more closely related to modern snakes and monitor lizards.1
