  • Ouranosaurus ("brave monitor lizard") was a basal duck-billed dinosaur that lived in Africa.
  • Ouranosaurus was a relatively large euornithopod. Taquet in 1976 estimated the body length at 7 metres (23 feet), the weight at four tonnes. Gregory S. Paul in 2010 gave a higher length estimate of 8.3 metres (27 feet) but a lower weight of 2.2 tonnes, emphasizing that the animal was relatively lightly built.[2] The femur is 811 millimetres long.

  • Ouranosaurus ("brave monitor lizard") was a basal duck-billed dinosaur that lived in Africa.
  • Ouranosaurus had a large sail over 2 feet (63 cm.) tall on its back, supported by thick, long spines that spanned its entire back and part of its tail, like Spinosaurus, a well known meat-eating dinosaur that lived at roughly the same time and place, and the older Dimetrodon of the Permian Period. There is no certain answer as to why Ouranosaurus had the sail, but it could've been used to control heat or attract mates and scare off rivals. The sail is a unique feature that is found on only a few dinosaurs and no living animals. Ouranosaurus was a quadro ped dinosaur. Because of the thumb spike on its front legs it was initially thought to be closely related to Iguanodon, and was actually identified as an iguanodontid, but more recent studies show it to be a sister-species both to Iguanodon and the first true hadrosaurs instead. Ouranosaurus likely lived in in a river delta, alongside the other sailbacked dinosaur, Spinosaurus. Studies show that this dinosaur was a poor runner, its hind legs evolved mainly to support its weight, rather to run fast. Its feet were rather narrow for its size and the tail was actually fairly short compared to most other ornithopods, making Ouranosaurus poor at keeping balance when running: if pursued it might've fled into water or the riverside vegetation instead. Its skull was rather flat, and was a little over 2 feet long, but it was filled with hundreds of teeth, perfectly designed for chewing tough plants like cycads. It was the main prey of large predators like the carnosaur Carcharodontosaurus, the crocodilian Sarcosuchus, and possibly the also-sailed Spinosaurus as well Nigersaurus .
