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.
Kangnasaurus is a genus of ornithopod dinosaurs of the Early Cretaceous. The generic name of the dinosaur means Kangnas lizard and it is in reference to Kangnas farm. The name of the type species, Kangnasaurus coetzeei refers to the farmer named Coetzee. This dinosaur has often been treated as a dubious genus since the dinosaur remains are remarkably scarce.
Kangnasaurus is pronounced as 'Kang-nah-sore-us'.
Kangnasaurus were classified as one of the iguanodontian ornithopods belonging to the family of dryosaurids.
Kangnasaurus lived on Earth during the Early Cretaceous period.
It is unknown when Kangnasaurus became Extinct.
Kangnasaurus lived in South Africa during the Early Cretaceous period. Their fossils were recovered from the early Aptian age sediment of the Kalahari Formation of South Africa.
The name Kangnasaurus is derived from the name of a farm. This implies that they probably lived in farm-like arrangements.
The genus is primarily known from a tooth along with some other postcranial fossils. Whether they herded together is elusive.
Their lifespan is unknown.
Kangnasaurus was oviparous in nature.
Kangnasaurus was an ornithopod of South Africa. The details on the thigh bone differed it from other dryosaurids. They were probably bipedal in nature. It is unknown how colorful or rare they were.

The genus was primarily known from a tooth for many years. Later, Haughton assigned a few fossils excavated from other deposits to the dinosaur including partial thigh bone, vertebrae, a partial shin, shin bone and foot, and other bones.
The dinosaur probably communicated using vocalizations like other dinosaurs.
Their length has not been determined yet.
The speed of their movements has not been measured yet.
The weight of a Kangnasaurus has not been determined.
The male and female species are not known to have particular names as both are called Kangnasaurus.
A baby Kangnasaurus is called a hatchling.
Kangnasaurus was a herbivore in nature. They chewed on plants and grass.
Their aggression level was lower than the predators since it was a herbivore.
When Haughton described Kangnasaurus remains, he claimed that the tooth was of the upper jaw. Later Michael Cooper identified it as a lower jaw tooth.
