酷東西

趣味知識

Talarurus lived about 96 to 89 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

Its tail club looked like a wicker basket, which is how it got its name.2

Scientists have found at least a dozen Talarurus specimens, including several skulls.2

Talarurus shared its home with another armoured dinosaur called Tsagantegia, but they ate different plants so they didn't compete.2

It had a wide, rectangular snout that helped it graze on low-growing plants, like a modern white rhinoceros.2

Talarurus had strong, short legs and a wide, round belly.2
