How fast was it?
Anndal belɗungal
Nanosaurus had thin, bony plates along its ribs, called intercostal plates, which helped it breathe or store energy.1
This dinosaur was only about 2 to 2.2 metres (6.6 to 7.2 feet) long and weighed as little as 20 to 30 kilograms (44 to 66 pounds).1
Nanosaurus lived alongside giants like Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Brachiosaurus in the Morrison Formation.1
Scientists once thought Nanosaurus was several different dinosaurs, including Drinker and Othnielosaurus, but now they think it was just one species.1
Nanosaurus had short, broad hands with short fingers, and a small head.1
It lived in a semiarid environment with wet and dry seasons, full of ferns, cycads, and conifer forests.1
