Qunkasaura Discovery: New Titanosaur Found in Europe | Dinosaur Facts

Uncover the remarkable discovery of Qunkasaura pintiquiniestra, a new species of titanosaur recently identified in Spain! This fascinating dinosaur, measuring up to 65 feet in length, lived around 75 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period, just before the mass extinction that wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs. Excavated at the Lo Hueco site, one of the most significant fossil discoveries in Europe, Qunkasaura is among the last giants that roamed our planet.
Join us as we dive into the world of Qunkasaura, a member of the Saltasauridae family known for its long neck, tail, and immense size. Learn about the paleontological excavation that brought this skeleton to light, the significance of this new find, and how it fits into the broader picture of sauropod evolution. We'll also explore the ancient environment in which these dinosaurs lived, where Europe was once a group of islands teeming with life.
This video explores the unique features of Qunkasaura, such as its distinctive vertebrae, which help scientists understand its origins. Was it connected to dinosaurs from North America or Asia? How did it survive in the island ecosystem of prehistoric Europe? These questions and more will be answered as we uncover the secrets of this newly discovered species.
Stay tuned for an exciting journey into the past, as we explore one of the most complete sauropod skeletons ever found in Europe. Learn how this discovery impacts our understanding of the giant herbivores that once dominated the Earth.
