Yayitya: IzityaloIidayinaso ezinesikrweqeiCretaceous yamva

Zuul was a heavily armoured dinosaur that looked like a living tank. It had a huge club on the end of its tail that it could swing like a sledgehammer. This dinosaur was one of the most complete ankylosaurs ever found in North America.2

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Zuul is the most complete ankylosaurid ever found in North America, with a complete skull and tail club preserved together.2

The fossil of Zuul had soft tissue preserved, including skin impressions and dark films that might be keratin, the same stuff your fingernails are made of.2

Zuul lived about 76 to 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.1

Its tail club was like a sledgehammer, and its species name 'crurivastator' means 'destroyer of shins'.1

Zuul was named after a monster from the 1984 movie Ghostbusters.1

The skeleton of Zuul was found in a bonebed with other animals, in badlands near Havre, Montana.1

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Zuul

?How big was Zuul?

Zuul was about 6 metres (20 feet) long and weighed more than 2.5 tonnes.3 4

?What did Zuul eat?

Zuul was a plant-eater. It likely ate ferns and shrubs.3

?Why did Zuul have a tail club?

Zuul probably used its tail club to defend itself from predators like tyrannosaurs, or to fight other ankylosaurs over territory or mates. It could swing it like a sledgehammer.3

?When did Zuul live?

Zuul lived about 76 to 75 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.3 4

?Where was Zuul found?

Zuul's skeleton was found in Hill County, Montana, USA, on private land near Havre.3 4

?Is Zuul a dinosaur?

Yes, Zuul is a dinosaur. It is an armoured dinosaur called an ankylosaur.3

?How was Zuul named?

Zuul was named after a monster from the 1984 movie Ghostbusters. Its species name, crurivastator, means 'destroyer of shins'.3 4

?What would happen if Zuul was alive today?

Nobody knows for sure, but with its heavy armour and powerful tail club, it would be a very tough plant-eater. It would probably not be a threat to people unless provoked.3

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think Zuul was a slow, clumsy dinosaur.

Inyaniso: Zuul was probably quite agile for its size, with strong legs and a flexible tail that could swing its club quickly to defend itself.2
