1

Qunkasaura's full scientific name is Qunkasaura pintiquiniestra. The species name 'pintiquiniestra' comes from a character in the book Don Quixote.1

2

This dinosaur is known from a single partial skeleton that includes ten back bones, six fused hip bones, the first eleven tail bones, and parts of its legs and hips.1

3

Qunkasaura lived about 83 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.3

4

It belonged to a group of sauropods called titanosaurs, which were some of the largest land animals ever.1

5

The Lo Hueco fossil site where Qunkasaura was found has yielded more than 10,000 fossils, nearly half of which are from titanosaurs.1

6

Scientists think Qunkasaura might be closely related to another European titanosaur called Abditosaurus.1
