Ikqaumishan was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that stomped around what is now Pakistan and India near the very end of the dinosaur age. It belonged to a group called titanosaurs, which included some of the biggest land animals ever. It probably used its long neck to munch leaves high in trees.2 1

Ikqaumishan is known from a partial upper arm bone called a humerus, which was found in Pakistan.2

It lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian age, which is the very last part of the dinosaur era.2

Its upper arm bone had a special ridge that was straight and set inward, which is different from many other titanosaurs.1

The place where it was found was near the equator about 9 degrees south, so it lived in a warm, tropical area.1

Ikqaumishan is one of several new titanosaurs described from Pakistan in 2023, showing that this region had many giant plant-eaters.1

Its fossils were found in rocks that formed in a river environment, so it probably walked along ancient floodplains.2

Ikqaumishan is a genus of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous. It was a huge, long-necked plant-eater.4 1

?How big was Ikqaumishan?

The exact size is not known, but it was a large titanosaur. The only known fossil is a partial upper arm bone, so scientists can only estimate its size.4 3

?When did Ikqaumishan live?

Ikqaumishan lived during the Maastrichtian age, about 72 to 66 million years ago, near the very end of the dinosaur age.4 1

?What did Ikqaumishan eat?

Ikqaumishan was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. It probably used its long neck to munch leaves high in trees.4 1

?Where was Ikqaumishan found?

Ikqaumishan fossils were found in Pakistan and India. The main bone, a partial humerus, came from the Vitakri Formation in Balochistan, Pakistan.3 1

?Is Ikqaumishan a dinosaur?

Yes, Ikqaumishan is a dinosaur. It belongs to the group called titanosaurs, which were long-necked sauropod dinosaurs.4 1

?Why is it called Ikqaumishan?

The name honors former Prime Minister Imran Khan and journalist Imran Khan, and comes from Urdu/Saraiki words meaning 'nation' and 'respect'.3

?What type of bone is Ikqaumishan known from?

Ku tas léeb yu dul dëgg

Léeb: Some people think all dinosaurs lived in North America or Africa, but Ikqaumishan shows that giant sauropods also lived in South Asia.

Dëgg: Ikqaumishan is a real dinosaur from Pakistan and India, proving that titanosaurs thrived in many parts of the ancient world.2
