ደስ ዝብሉ ሓቅታት

Guanlingsaurus had a very short, toothless snout, which is very different from most other ichthyosaurs that had long jaws full of teeth.1

Its skull was tiny compared to its body, making up only about 8 to 9 percent of its total length.1

It had an extremely high number of vertebrae: 86 in the neck and trunk and more than 110 in the tail.2

Guanlingsaurus lived during the Carnian age of the Late Triassic, about 235 to 227 million years ago.3

A complete juvenile skeleton was found in 2013, which helped scientists confirm that Guanlingsaurus was a distinct genus from Shastasaurus.1

?Was Guanlingsaurus a dinosaur?

No. Guanlingsaurus was an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea, not a dinosaur.1

?How did Guanlingsaurus feed?

It likely sucked in fish and squid like a vacuum cleaner, but some scientists think its hyoid bones were too weak for strong suction feeding.4 5

?Where was Guanlingsaurus found?

In Guanling County, Guizhou Province, China, in rocks from the Late Triassic.1

?How long was the juvenile Guanlingsaurus?

About 3.74 metres (12.3 feet) long.1
