Utuntu dushimishije
Yaguarasaurus lived about 90 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.1
The first fossils of Yaguarasaurus were found in a limestone bed near Yaguará, Colombia, in a place called Cueva Rica.1
The first skull of Yaguarasaurus was 47 centimeters (19 inches) long, but a later skull was 87 centimeters (34 inches) long, meaning some individuals were much bigger.1
Yaguarasaurus is one of the most complete mosasaurs ever found in South America.1
There are two known species of Yaguarasaurus: Y. columbianus from Colombia and Y. regiomontanus from Mexico.12
Scientists are not sure exactly how Yaguarasaurus is related to other mosasaurs. Some think it belongs to a group called Yaguarasaurinae, while others think it is a primitive plioplatecarpine.1
