Xianshanosaurus
Xianshanosaurus was a huge, long-necked plant-eater that stomped through ancient China. It had spoon-shaped teeth and a tail that moved like a whip. This gentle giant lived alongside other big dinosaurs in a warm, wet habitat.1

Iinyani ezimnandi
Xianshanosaurus had spoon-shaped teeth with a ridge on the tongue side, similar to another sauropod called Euhelopus.1
Its tail vertebrae were procoelous, meaning they had ball-and-socket joints, which made its tail extra flexible.1
Unlike many titanosaurs, its dorsal ribs did not have air holes, and its haemal arches had a closed canal.1
It was large, but smaller than its neighbors Ruyangosaurus and Huanghetitan.1
Scientists think it lived in a group, because the PBDB lists it as gregarious.2
It lived about 121 to 100 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous.2

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Xianshanosaurus
?How big was Xianshanosaurus?
Nobody knows its exact size because only a partial skeleton has been found, but it was a large sauropod, though smaller than its neighbors Ruyangosaurus and Huanghetitan.1
?What did Xianshanosaurus eat?
It was a herbivore, meaning it ate plants. Its spoon-shaped teeth were good for stripping leaves off branches.3
?When did Xianshanosaurus live?
It lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 121 to 100 million years ago.3
Inyaniso ngeentsomi
Intsomi: Some people think Xianshanosaurus was a titanosaur, a type of sauropod with a very flexible tail.
Inyaniso: Scientists aren't sure. It might be a titanosaur, but some studies say it could be a different kind of sauropod, like a turiasaur or euhelopodid.1

- Scientists still debate where exactly Xianshanosaurus belongs in the sauropod family tree, with some thinking it's close to Daxiatitan and others not.1
