ደስ ዝብሉ ሓቅታት

Pelorosaurus was one of the first sauropods to be identified as a dinosaur, but Richard Owen had earlier thought its bones belonged to a giant sea crocodile.1

Its front legs were relatively long, a trait typical of brachiosaurids, which helped it reach high vegetation.1

The name 'Pelorosaurus' was originally going to be 'Colossosaurus', but the scientist changed it because 'kolossos' meant 'statue' in Greek, not 'giant'.1

Many fossils once assigned to Pelorosaurus have turned out to belong to other dinosaurs, like Haestasaurus and Duriatitan.1

The humerus (upper arm bone) of Pelorosaurus was 137 centimeters long, which is taller than most adult humans.1

Pelorosaurus lived about 140 to 125 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.1 2

ጽውጽዋይ ዘፍርስ

ገና ዘከራኽር: Scientists still debate whether Pelorosaurus is a valid genus, because the original bones might belong to more than one animal, and the name has a confusing history.1
