Musankwa was a long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Zimbabwe during the Late Triassic. It walked on two legs and weighed about as much as a large bear. Only one leg bone fossil has been found, but it tells scientists a lot about this dinosaur.41

Utuntu dushimishije

1

Musankwa was named in 2024, making it one of the newest dinosaur discoveries from Africa.1

2

The fossil was found by a team living on a houseboat called Musankwa, which means 'boy close to marriage' in the Tonga language.1

3

Musankwa is only the fourth dinosaur ever named from Zimbabwe, after Vulcanodon and Mbiresaurus.1

4

The Musankwa specimen includes a right leg bone, the femur, tibia, and ankle bone, all still connected.1

5

Scientists think Musankwa was about 386 kilograms, or 851 pounds, which is as heavy as a large moose.1

6

Musankwa lived during the Norian stage of the Late Triassic, about 227 to 205 million years ago.4

7

The Pebbly Arkose Formation where Musankwa was found is made of ancient river sand and pebbles.1

?What did Musankwa eat?

Musankwa was a plant-eater. It was a sauropodomorph, a group of long-necked dinosaurs that ate plants.3

?When did Musankwa live?

Musankwa lived during the Late Triassic period, about 210 million years ago. That is during the Norian stage.12

Gusenya ibinyoma

Ibivugwa: Some people think only giant long-necked dinosaurs like Brachiosaurus lived in Africa.

Ukuri: Musankwa was a smaller relative of those giants, showing that early sauropodomorphs came in many sizes and lived across the supercontinent Pangaea.1
