Albertonectes

Igama lithetha: “Alberta swimmer”1

Yayitya: InyamaIiplesiosauriiCretaceous yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Albertonectes was a huge marine reptile that lived in the sea, not a dinosaur. It had an incredibly long neck, longer than a school bus, and swam with four flippers like paddles.1 2

Inyani emnandi: esi sirhubuluzi saselwandle sasiqubha ngelixa iidayinaso zazihamba emhlabeni. Wonke umntu uzibiza ngokuba ziidayinaso, kodwa zazilisebe elahlukileyo lezirhubuluzi.

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Albertonectes had 76 neck bones, more than any other known animal. Its neck was about 7 metres (23 feet) long.1 2

Its fossils were discovered by accident in 2007 during ammolite mining. An excavator broke part of the skeleton, and some stomach stones were lost.1 2

Albertonectes lived in the Western Interior Seaway, a huge inland sea that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean.2

No skull of Albertonectes has ever been found, so scientists can only guess what its head looked like based on other elasmosaurs.1 2

Over 97 stomach stones were found with the skeleton, but they are too small to help with buoyancy or digestion. Scientists are still not sure why plesiosaurs swallowed stones.1 2

Albertonectes was a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived on land, while plesiosaurs were air-breathing reptiles that lived in the sea.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Albertonectes — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Albertonectes esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Albertonectes

?How big was Albertonectes?

Albertonectes was about 12.1 metres (40 feet) long and weighed around 4.8 metric tons (5.3 short tons). Its neck alone was about 7 metres (23 feet) long.1 2

?Was Albertonectes a dinosaur?

No, Albertonectes was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea. Dinosaurs lived on land.2

?What did Albertonectes eat?

Scientists think Albertonectes ate small fish and crustaceans. Its small, slender teeth were not for attacking large prey.2

?How many neck bones did Albertonectes have?

Albertonectes had 76 neck bones, more than any other known animal. That is why its neck was so long.1 2

?When did Albertonectes live?

Albertonectes lived about 73.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

?Could Albertonectes swim?

Yes, Albertonectes was a strong swimmer. It used its four paddle-like flippers to move through the water.1 2

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Albertonectes was a dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Albertonectes was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the ocean, not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs were land animals.2

Amazwe: iKhanada4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: The only known skeleton was found in 2007 by an ammolite mining company near Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. It was named Albertonectes vanderveldei in 2012 by paleontologist Tai Kubo and his team.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure why Albertonectes swallowed so many stomach stones, since they are too small to help with buoyancy or digestion.2
