izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

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

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Ledumahadi 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: Ledumahadi

?How big was Ledumahadi?

About 12 metric tons (13 short tons), as heavy as two adult African elephants. It was the largest land animal of its time.15

?What did Ledumahadi eat?

It was a plant-eater, a herbivore that ate leaves and other plants.1

?Is Ledumahadi a dinosaur?

Yes, it is a dinosaur. It is a sauropodomorph, a close relative of the long-necked sauropods like Brontosaurus.1

?When did Ledumahadi live?

It lived about 200 million years ago, in the Early Jurassic Period, right after the big extinction at the end of the Triassic.12

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