酷東西

趣味知識

Shingopana's fossils had holes from insect bites that happened shortly after the dinosaur died.1

Scientists think Shingopana was more closely related to South American titanosaurs than to other African ones.1

Shingopana lived alongside other dinosaurs like Rukwatitan and Mnyamawamtuka, as well as crocodile-like reptiles and lungfish.1

The name Shingopana means 'wide neck' in Swahili, because of the bulbous parts on its neck bones.1

Shingopana is known from a partial jaw, neck bones, ribs, a shoulder bone, and a partial hip bone.1

Shingopana's ribs had flanged edges, but scientists are not sure what these were for.1
