Utuntu dushimishije
Jakapil is the first armoured dinosaur ever found in Argentina's Patagonia region.1
Unlike most armoured dinosaurs, Jakapil probably walked on two legs, like the earlier dinosaur Scutellosaurus.1
Its name comes from the Tehuelche language and means 'shield bearer'.1
Jakapil lived in the Kokorkom Desert, a huge sand dune desert that covered about 826 square kilometres.1
It had a short lower jaw with a high coronoid process, giving it a strong bite for chewing plants.1
Scientists are not sure if Jakapil was a very early armoured dinosaur or an early relative of ankylosaurs.1
The only known fossil is a subadult, so adults might have been a bit bigger than 1.5 metres long.1

?Did Jakapil walk on two legs?
Yes, Jakapil probably walked on two legs, similar to the earlier dinosaur Scutellosaurus. But scientists are not completely sure because the fossil is incomplete.31
?When did Jakapil live?
Jakapil lived about 97 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period. It was found in the Candeleros Formation in Argentina.31
?Was Jakapil a dinosaur?
Yes, Jakapil was a dinosaur. It was a thyreophoran, but scientists are not sure if it was a very early armoured dinosaur or an early relative of ankylosaurs.31
?Why is it called Jakapil?
