What is Siamosaurus?
Q: What is Siamosaurus?
A: Siamosaurus is a carnivorous theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Thailand.
Q: What is known about the size of Siamosaurus?
A: It is only known from fossil teeth, so paleontologists don't know much about its size, but it might have reached a length of 9.1 meters (30 ft).
Q: What did Siamosaurus eat?
A: The teeth that were discovered looked a lot like those of Spinosaurus, so it probably ate fish.
Q: What did a study made in 2010 by Roman Amiot and his colleagues find out about spinosaurids?
A: The study found that spinosaurids had very semiaquatic (living partly in water, and partly on land) lifestyles.
Q: What habitats did spinosaurids live in?
A: They lived in habitats like those of hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and turtles.
Q: What does the semiaquatic lifestyle of spinosaurids mean?
A: It means they could exist at the same time and place as other large predators without competing for food.
Q: What other meat-eating dinosaurs were compared in the 2010 study by Roman Amiot and his colleagues besides spinosaurids?
A: Other meat-eating dinosaurs were compared to spinosaurids like Baryonyx, Irritator, and Spinosaurus.
