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

1

Minqaria was a dwarf dinosaur, only about 3.5 metres (11 feet) long, much smaller than its giant relatives like Edmontosaurus.21

2

Its skull bones were fused together, which tells scientists it was a fully grown adult, not a baby.21

3

Minqaria lived alongside other dinosaurs in Morocco, including the duck-billed Ajnabia and the meat-eating Chenanisaurus.2

4

The name Minqaria comes from the Arabic word for 'beak', and bata means 'duck', so its full name is 'beak duck'.1

5

Minqaria belonged to a group of duck-billed dinosaurs called lambeosaurines, which often had fancy crests on their heads.21

6

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
