Fatgs divertents

1

Yangchuanosaurus had six large holes in its skull that helped make the skull lighter, so it could move its head more easily.1

2

Its eyes faced forward, which gave it good depth perception to judge distances when hunting.1

3

It had a long tail that helped it balance its body when running.1

4

The first skeleton was found by workers digging foundations for the Shangyou Reservoir Dam in 1977.21

5

In 1981, fossils of Yangchuanosaurus shangyouensis were nearly lost in a flood when the Chongqing Museum of Natural History laboratory was partially submerged, but the fossils were saved.1

6

Yangchuanosaurus lived about 168 to 157 million years ago, during the Jurassic period.1
