At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
The Equijubus is a genus of basal hadrosaurid dinosaurs. However, they could also be non-hadrosauroid iguanodonts. The name is derived from the Latin terms 'equus', meaning 'horse', and 'juba', meaning 'mane'.
The name Equijubus is pronounced as 'ee-kwee-joo-bus'.
The dinosaur is the basal-most member of the Hadrosauroids, which helps paleontologists to study the Hadrosaur evolution in China.
The fossils of the Equijubus belong to the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous period.
The Equijubus went extinct during the Albian age of the Early Cretaceous, about 105.3 million years ago.
The Equijubus fossils were excavated from the Gonpoquan Basin of the Gansu province in northwest China. It can be assumed they lived in Asia.
The fossils of the Equijubus had fluvial and lacustrine sediments, which imply that they lived nearby rivers, streams, and lakes.
It is not clear how the dinosaurs lived.
The Equijubus evolved around 127 million years ago and became extinct nearly 105.3 million years ago.
Equijubus reproduced by laying eggs.
The Equijubus was exceptionally large and larger than the other euornithopod species. The palpebral bone of the dinosaur seems to be absent, implying that the upper rim of the eyes was missing in Equijubus.
The Equijubus specimen is known from the partial remains of its articulate skull and jaws. They had a partial vertebral column comprising 16 dorsal vertebrae, nine neck vertebrae, and six sacral or hip vertebrae.
The Equijubus communicated with different types of vocalizations.
The length of Equijubus is estimated to be around 23 ft (7 m). They are around three times larger than Leyesaurus.
The speed of an Equijubus is not determined.
The Equijubus dinosaurs weighed approximately 5500 lb (2500 kg).
The male and female species did not have separate names.
A baby Equijubus is called a nestling or a hatchling.
The Equijubus were herbivores and less aggressive than the predators and flesh eaters.
Equijubus is believed to be the earliest duck-billed dinosaur in the world, based on the dinosaur fossils of the Early Cretaceous age.
