Dintlha tse di monate

1

Ledumahadi walked on four legs, but its arms were not straight like later giant sauropods. Its elbows were slightly bent.2

2

This dinosaur was about 14 years old when it died, and scientists know this from looking at the growth rings in its bones.2

3

Ledumahadi lived right after the big extinction at the end of the Triassic Period, about 200 million years ago.2

4

Its name means 'giant thunderclap' in the Sesotho language of southern Africa.1

5

Ledumahadi is not a true sauropod, but a close relative called a sauropodomorph. It shows that giant size evolved in this group before the true sauropods appeared.2

6

The only known fossil of Ledumahadi includes parts of its backbone, arm bones, and a toe claw.2

Go fitlhelwa
Ledumahadi was named in 2018 by Blair McPhee and colleagues. The fossils were found on a farm in South Africa.2
Go sa ntse go ganetsanwa
Scientists are still debating exactly how Ledumahadi walked. Its bent elbows suggest it was not as stiff-legged as later giant sauropods.2
