Minqaria
Minqaria was a tiny duck-billed dinosaur that lived in Africa near the end of the age of dinosaurs. It was only about as long as a car and weighed as much as a big pig. Despite its small size, it was a full-grown adult!21

Dintlha tse monate
Minqaria was a dwarf dinosaur, only about 3.5 metres (11 feet) long, much smaller than its giant relatives like Edmontosaurus.21
Its skull bones were fused together, which tells scientists it was a fully grown adult, not a baby.21
Minqaria lived alongside other dinosaurs in Morocco, including the duck-billed Ajnabia and the meat-eating Chenanisaurus.2
The name Minqaria comes from the Arabic word for 'beak', and bata means 'duck', so its full name is 'beak duck'.1
Minqaria belonged to a group of duck-billed dinosaurs called lambeosaurines, which often had fancy crests on their heads.21
Fossils of Minqaria were found in marine rocks, meaning its body washed out to sea after death.2

- Minqaria was named in 2024 by paleontologist Nick Longrich and his team. The fossils were found by local miners in the phosphate mines of Sidi Chennane, Morocco.21

- Scientists are not sure why Minqaria and other African duck-billed dinosaurs were so small, but they think it might be because giant sauropods outcompeted them for food.2
