Luskhan

Igama lithetha: “water spirit chief”1

Yayitya: InyamaIiplesiosauriiCretaceous yokuqalaNgokwenene ayisiyo dayinaso

Luskhan was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the ancient seas of what is now Russia. It had a long, slender snout and small teeth, perfect for catching soft, squishy prey like squid. Unlike many other pliosaurs, Luskhan was not a giant apex predator but a specialized hunter of small animals.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

Luskhan is known from a nearly complete, three-dimensionally preserved skeleton, which is rare for pliosaurids.1 2

Its name comes from Mongolian and Turkic mythology: 'luus' means water spirit and 'khan' means chief.1

Luskhan lived about 128 million years ago, during the Hauterivian stage of the Early Cretaceous.1

Unlike most other pliosaurs, Luskhan had a long, slender snout and small teeth, similar to the distantly related polycotylid plesiosaurs.1 2

Luskhan evolved its fish-eating features independently from polycotylids, more than 10 million years later.1

The only known specimen was discovered in 2002 by Russian paleontologist Gleb N. Uspensky on the banks of the Volga River.1

Luskhan is an early-diverging brachauchenine, meaning it shows a mix of traits from earlier and later pliosaurs.1 2

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

?How big was Luskhan?

Luskhan was about 6.5 metres (21 feet) long, which is roughly the length of a large boat.1

?What did Luskhan eat?

Luskhan ate small, soft prey like squid. Its slender snout and small teeth were perfect for catching soft animals, not large prey.1 3

?Was Luskhan a dinosaur?

No, Luskhan was a plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived in the sea. It was not a dinosaur.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Luskhan
Inikwe igama ngu:: Fischer et al. 20174
Iqela: Iiplesiosauri
Usapho / iclade: Pliosauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Plesiosauria > Pliosauridae > Sauropterygia4
Ubudala bamatye: 133 ukuya ku-126 izigidi zeminyaka (Hauterivian)4
Amazwe: iRashiya4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Luskhan was named in 2017 by a team led by Valentin Fischer, based on a skeleton found in 2002 by Gleb N. Uspensky in western Russia.1 4
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how large Luskhan grew, because no complete length estimate has been published.1
