描述 貴州龍(學名:Keichousaurus sp.)生活在距今2.1億年前中三疊紀,現在的貴州興義一帶還是一片澤國,這裡生息著一種小型幻龍–貴州龍。它小腦袋、長脖子,身體寬扁,很像後來出現的蛇頸龍。它四肢仍保留趾爪,能像鱷魚一樣匍匐前行。它大部分時間生活在水里,寬大的腳掌及細長的尾巴很適於在水中游泳。與其他幻龍一樣,貴州龍也喜歡吃魚及小型水生動物。 | Description Keichousaurus sp. lived in the Middle Triassic period 210 million years ago, in Xingyi area of Guizhou where is still a marsh nowadays. The Nothosaurus– Keichousaurus sp. was found there. It had a small head, a long neck, and a wide and flat body, much like a plesiosaur that appeared later. It retained the toes and claws on its limbs and could crawl forward like a crocodile. It lived most of the time in water, and its wide feet and slender tail were suitable for swimming in the water. Like other Nothosaurus, Keichousaurus sp. liked to eat fish and small aquatic animals. |
