Yunyangosaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now China during the Middle Jurassic. It was about the size of a car and probably hunted smaller animals. Scientists think it might be an early relative of big predators like Megalosaurus.2 4

Yunyangosaurus was named in 2020, making it a relatively new dinosaur discovery.4

Only one partial skeleton has been found, including eleven back bones and some ribs.2

The fossil was found in the Xintiangou Formation, a rock layer that has not yielded many dinosaur fossils.2

Yunyangosaurus had a combination of features that scientists have not seen in other theropods, like a special shape in its neck bones.2

It was a sub-adult when it died, meaning it was not fully grown.2

Yunyangosaurus might belong to a group called megalosauroids, which includes some of the largest Jurassic predators.1 2

Las dumondas las pli frequentas davart Yunyangosaurus

?How big was Yunyangosaurus?

About 4.7 meters (15.4 feet) long, roughly the size of a car. This is an estimate based on its bones.1 3

?What did Yunyangosaurus eat?

It was a meat-eating dinosaur, so it probably hunted smaller animals. Scientists think it was an early relative of big predators like Megalosaurus.1

?When did Yunyangosaurus live?

It lived during the Middle Jurassic period, about 174 to 163 million years ago. The fossil was found in the Xintiangou Formation in China.1 3

?Is Yunyangosaurus a dinosaur?
