Are you interested in knowing about unique dinosaurs that lived on our Earth? If so, then the Brohisaurus will fascinate you as its phylogenetic position is still unclear. Some ribs, vertebrae, and limb bones of this dinosaur were discovered in the Kimmeridgian Sembar Formation that is situated in the Kirthar Mountains of Pakistan. M. Sadiq Malkani was the one to describe the species name and classification of this dinosaur in 2003. Malkani did choose 'Kirthari' as the species name, which is derived from the Kirthar Mountains. Malkani described it to be a titanosaur sauropod due to the presence of similar traits like pneumatic cavities in ribs and femoral bones with elliptic cross-sections, which were indeed special. He even said this dinosaur to have been alike to the Malawisaurus found in Africa. As a sauropod, the Brohisaurus would have been a herbivore that used to eat plants in its habitat. However, very little information is available about this species. Hence, keep reading to know more about the Brohisaurus.
The name is pronounced as 'Bro-he-sore-us'.
The species is said to have been a part of the sauropod dinosaurs.
This species would have been present during the Late Jurassic Period.
It is not clear when exactly this dinosaur became Extinct.
This dinosaur species lived in what is now modern-day Pakistan.
It lived in a terrestrial habitat.
This large-bodied sauropod would have lived with other dinosaurs and animals, but we don't know have any specific information.
No information is available about the lifespan of this dinosaur.
Like any other dinosaur, the Brohisaurus would have also reproduced by laying eggs.
There's a limited description of the Brohisaurus, and it was just said to have been a large-bodied, long-necked dinosaur like most other sauropods.
The only fossils that were found were some ribs, vertebrae, and limb bones. They weren't enough to describe the proposed traits of how many bones the dinosaur would have had. One of the limb bones, the femur, was said to measure 4.7 in (12 cm).
Like any other dinosaur, it would have communicated by making sounds.
Due to only a few fossils of this genus being found, there's no information available about its size.
We don't know the exact speed of the dinosaurs that belong to this genus. However, sauropods, in general, were heavy-bodied and are said to have had a speed of around 4 mph (7 kph).
It is unknown how much this dinosaur would have weighed.
There are no specific names for the sexes.
A baby Brohisaurus would be called a hatchling or a juvenile based on its age.
As a probable herbivore species, this dinosaur wouldn't have been too aggressive.
At times, the genus name is also referred to as the Baluchisaurus.
The genus name of this dinosaur stands for 'Baluchi lizard'. The fossils were discovered in an area where Baluchi people lived.
Another dinosaur, Brachiosaurus, had only one heart and ate gingkoes, coniferous trees, and cycads.
