Dinotopia

Kotasaurus Yamanpalliensis



On his last visit to Hyderabad in July 2011, we took Akshay to the Birla Science Museum. He was thrilled to see the dinosaureum and enjoyed the other interactive exhibits.
In the picture above is the restructured body of the Kotasaurus at the museum. They  lived nearly 208 to 188 million years ago ( in the early Jurassic period)  in and around central and south India. This dinosaur was a herbivore, nearly 30 feet long. Its remains were found in India in 1988.
