Brasilotitan

Igama lithetha: “Brazil giant”1

Yayitya: IzityaloIintamo-ndeiCretaceous yamva

Brasilotitan was a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in Brazil during the Late Cretaceous. It was a titanosaur, a group of huge sauropods, but Brasilotitan was smaller than many of its giant cousins.1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Brasilotitan had a lower jaw shaped like an 'L', with the front part slightly twisted inward. This feature had never been seen before in any titanosaur.1 2

The name 'nemophagus' means 'pasture eater' or 'wood eater', referring to its plant-based diet.1

Some of the fossil bones show puncture marks, and theropod teeth were found nearby. Scientists think a meat-eating dinosaur may have scavenged the carcass before it was buried.1

Brasilotitan was small for a sauropod, probably less than 12 metres (39 feet) long.1

The fossil includes a right dentary (lower jaw bone), neck vertebrae, part of the sacrum, hip bones, and a toe claw.1 2

Brasilotitan is closely related to another Brazilian titanosaur called Uberabatitan.1

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

?How big was Brasilotitan?

Brasilotitan was small for a sauropod, probably less than 12 metres long. Some sources say it was about 8 metres long and 3 metres tall.1 3

?What did Brasilotitan eat?

Brasilotitan was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. Its name 'nemophagus' means 'pasture eater' or 'wood eater'.1 3

?Where was Brasilotitan found?

Brasilotitan fossils were found in Brazil, near Presidente Prudente city in São Paulo state. They were collected along a road in 2000.1 3

?Did Brasilotitan have any predators?

Yes, some of its bones have puncture marks and theropod teeth were found nearby. Scientists think a meat-eating dinosaur may have scavenged its carcass.1 3

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Brasilotitan
Inikwe igama ngu:: Machado et al. 20134
Iqela: Iintamo-nde
Usapho / iclade: Rinconsauria4
Ukuhlelwa: Sauropodomorpha > Sauropoda > Titanosauria > Macronaria4
Ubudala bamatye: 84 ukuya ku-66 izigidi zeminyaka (Campanian / Maastrichtian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Adamantina4
Amazwe: iBrazil4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: William R. Nava collected the partial skeleton in 2000 along a road near Presidente Prudente, Brazil. In 2013, a team led by Elaine B. Machado described it as a new genus and species, Brasilotitan nemophagus.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how Brasilotitan is related to other titanosaurs. Some studies place it close to Uberabatitan, while others suggest it is related to Antarctosaurus and Bonitasaura.1
