Yayitya: IzityaloIintamo-ndeiTriassic yamva

Musankwa was a long-necked plant-eater that lived in what is now Zimbabwe during the Late Triassic. It walked on two legs and weighed about as much as a large bear. Only one leg bone fossil has been found, but it tells scientists a lot about this dinosaur.4 1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Musankwa was named in 2024, making it one of the newest dinosaur discoveries from Africa.1

The fossil was found by a team living on a houseboat called Musankwa, which means 'boy close to marriage' in the Tonga language.1

Musankwa is only the fourth dinosaur ever named from Zimbabwe, after Vulcanodon and Mbiresaurus.1

The Musankwa specimen includes a right leg bone, the femur, tibia, and ankle bone, all still connected.1

Scientists think Musankwa was about 386 kilograms, or 851 pounds, which is as heavy as a large moose.1

Musankwa lived during the Norian stage of the Late Triassic, about 227 to 205 million years ago.4

The Pebbly Arkose Formation where Musankwa was found is made of ancient river sand and pebbles.1

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

?How big was Musankwa?

Musankwa weighed about 386 kilograms (851 pounds), which is as heavy as a large moose or a horse. It stood about 1.5 metres (5 feet) tall at the hip.1 2

?What did Musankwa eat?

Musankwa was a plant-eater. It was a sauropodomorph, a group of long-necked dinosaurs that ate plants.3

?When did Musankwa live?

Musankwa lived during the Late Triassic period, about 210 million years ago. That is during the Norian stage.1 2

?Where was Musankwa found?

Musankwa was found on the shoreline of Spurwing Island in Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe. The fossils were in the Pebbly Arkose Formation.1 2

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think only giant long-necked dinosaurs like Brachiosaurus lived in Africa.

Inyaniso: Musankwa was a smaller relative of those giants, showing that early sauropodomorphs came in many sizes and lived across the supercontinent Pangaea.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Musankwa
Inikwe igama ngu:: Barrett et al. 20244
Iqela: Iintamo-nde
Usapho / iclade: Massopoda4
Ukuhlelwa: Sauropodomorpha4
Ubudala bamatye: 237 ukuya ku-206 izigidi zeminyaka (Carnian / Norian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Pebbly Arkose4
Amazwe: iZimbabwe4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Musankwa was discovered in March 2018 by paleontologist Paul Barrett on Spurwing Island, Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe. It was officially named in 2024 by Barrett and his team.1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating whether Musankwa was a member of the Massopoda group or more closely related to the Unaysauridae dinosaurs.1
