酷東西

趣味知識

Paludititan lived on Hațeg Island, which was a real island during the Late Cretaceous. Many animals there were smaller than their relatives on the mainland.1

The first skeleton of Paludititan was found in 2002 by a Belgian-Romanian team. It was the most complete sauropod skeleton ever found in Romania at that time.1

Paludititan was about 6 metres long and weighed around 1 metric ton. That is small for a sauropod, about the size of a car.1

The fossil bones were found close together, so scientists think they belong to one single animal.1

Some tail vertebrae of Paludititan are flat on both ends, while others are cup-shaped on the front. This mix is unusual among titanosaurs.1

Paludititan shared its island home with other dwarf dinosaurs like Magyarosaurus, Telmatosaurus, and Zalmoxes. The top predator was a giant flying reptile called Hatzegopteryx.1
