In this video series for kids, we are learning about dinosaurs from A to Z. Today’s dino is the Jaxartosaurus.

The Jaxartosaurus lived about 90 million years ago. Fossil remains were found in Kazakhstan, a country in Central Asia. Not much is known about the dinosaur. Only part of its skull and jaw have been uncovered.

With little evidence to go on, scientists hypothesize what the dinosaur may have been like. The name Jaxartosaurus means "Jaxartes river lizard." Its name comes from the Jaxartes River. Evidence from where the fossil remains were found suggests that these dinosaurs lived near rivers. By dinosaur size, Jaxartosauruses were small. They were about 9 meters long (29.5 feet) from the tip of their head to the end of their tail. And they were nearly 3 meters (10 feet) tall. They probably weighed around 3 tons or 6,000 pounds.
