About Sulaimanisaurus
What it was like
Sulaimanisaurus was named as a titanosaur, a long-necked plant eater, from tail bones.
Its world
It lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, at the end of the Late Cretaceous, in what is now Pakistan. Its bones come from the Vitakri Formation.
How it was found
Malkani named it in 2004. Its bones are fragmentary, and many scientists doubt that it can be told apart from other titanosaurs of the region.
