Kholumolumo was one of the largest known animals of the Norian stage of the Late Triassic, about 210 million years ago.1

Its shinbone is very short and robust, with a circumference that is 53% of its length. That is a higher ratio than in most other early sauropodomorphs.1

The first bones were found in 1930 by a school principal named Samuel Motsoane, but the main discovery was made in 1955 near a trash heap called Thotobolo ea 'Ma-Beata.1

The fossils represent at least five, probably about ten, individual dinosaurs, making it the most complete sauropodomorph from the lower Elliot Formation.1 2

Kholumolumo was originally nicknamed 'Thotobolosaurus' which means 'trash heap lizard' because of where it was found.1

Scientists think Kholumolumo walked on two legs, even though it was very large. This is unusual for such a big animal.1 2

Anc discutà: Scientists are not sure whether Kholumolumo walked on two legs or four legs. The weight estimate changes a lot depending on its posture.1
