Igama lithetha: “Angola lizard”1

Yayitya: InyamaIimosasauriiCretaceous yamvaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Angolasaurus was a marine lizard that swam in the warm seas of the Late Cretaceous. It was a small mosasaur, about 4 meters long, with a long skull and a tail fluke for fast swimming.1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Angolasaurus was one of the few Turonian mosasaurs found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, showing it could cross the sea.1

Its skull had 11 teeth in the upper jaw, 4 in the front, and 12 in the lower jaw.1

Scientists think Angolasaurus had a tail fluke, like a shark, for powerful swimming.1

Its body was covered in keeled scales that helped it move smoothly through water.1

Because the seas it lived in were cooling, Angolasaurus may have had dark patterns on its back to soak up heat from the sun.1

Angolasaurus shared its home in Angola with the giant mosasaur Tylosaurus and a turtle called Angolachelys.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Angolasaurus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Angolasaurus 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: Angolasaurus

?Was Angolasaurus a dinosaur?

No, it was a marine lizard called a mosasaur, not a dinosaur. It lived in the sea during the time of the dinosaurs.1

?How big was Angolasaurus?

About 4 meters long, with a skull about 40 centimeters long. It was a small mosasaur.1

?What did Angolasaurus eat?

Scientists do not know exactly, but as a mosasaur it likely ate fish and other sea creatures. Its teeth suggest it was a predator.1

?Where did Angolasaurus live?

It lived in the warm seas of Angola, and also possibly in what is now the United States, Brazil, and Niger. It could cross the Atlantic Ocean.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Angolasaurus
Inikwe igama ngu:: akwaziwa3
Iqela: Iimosasauri
Usapho / iclade: Mosasauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Mosasauroidea3
Ubudala bamatye: 90 ukuya ku-66 izigidi zeminyaka (Coniacian / Maastrichtian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Itombe, Dukamaje3
Amazwe: i-Angola, iNiger3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 3 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Angolasaurus was first named in 1964 by Miguel Telles Antunes, based on a partial skull and skeleton found in Angola. It was later thought to be a species of Platecarpus, but new studies in 2005 showed it was a separate genus.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating exactly where Angolasaurus fits in the mosasaur family tree, with some studies placing it as a basal plioplatecarpine.1
