Phakathi kwezilwanyana ezininzi ezaphelayo ezazihlala emhlabeni kwizigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo kukho iMegalosaurus. Bayibhaptiza ngeli gama ngenxa yobukhulu bayo. Ke ngoko, inguqulelo iya kuba "yicilikishe elikhulu". Le dinosaur yayiphila ngexesha leJurassic, malunga ne-167 yezigidi zeminyaka eyadlulayo. Ukuqwalasela iindawo apho i-fossil eseleyo yesi silwanyana ifunyenwe, kunokwenzeka ukuba yayihlala kwimimandla yaseYurophu, eMelika, e-Afrika nase-Asia. Ukongeza, ngokutsho kophando, inxulumene nePoekilopleuron yaseFransi kunye neTorvosaurus yaseMntla Melika.
Inkcazo yeMegalosaurus
Ekuqaleni, iifosili eziseleyo zeMegalosaurus zazinqongophele kakhulu. Phakathi kwazo kwakukho nje amazinyo ambalwa, umhlathi kunye nomqolo. Noko ke, ekuhambeni kweminyaka, kuye kwafunyanwa iifosili ezingakumbi zesi silwanyana sikhulu. Enkosi kubo, ngoku kukho umbono obanzi ngakumbi malunga nale carnivore.
Intloko yakhe ibinkulu kakhulu. Imihlathi yayinde kwaye inamazinyo angaphezu kwamashumi amathathu abukhali narhaxaxa. Ngabo, iMegalosaurus yakrazula inyama yexhoba layo. Ukuze kuphetshwe ukulahlekelwa zezi zixhobo zibalulekileyo, iingcambu zamazinyo zazibhijela emhlathini. Olu phawu lubalulekile kule dinosaur, ekubeni indlela yayo yokuzingela yayiquka ukuluma intamo yamaxhoba ayo. Ezinye i-theropods, kwelinye icala, ezifana ne-Allosaurus, zasebenzisa imihlathi yazo ukubetha amaxhoba abo.

Ngokubhekiselele kumgaqo-siseko wayo, wawungafani ncam nowabarharha. Ngoko ke, kunokwenzeka ukuba i-forte yakhe yayingeyona isantya. Nangona kunjalo, abaphandi baye babala ukuba ngemilenze yayo emide, enezihlunu, iMegalosaurus inokuthi ikwazi ukuqhuba ngaphezu kweekhilomitha ezili-22 ngeyure. Ngokuphathelele iingalo, ezi zazimfutshane kakhulu kwaye zineminwe emithathu eneenzipho ezibukhali.
iinkcazelo zakudala
UBenjamin Waterhouse Hawkins wayengumkroli wesiNgesi kunye nesazi sezilwanyana. Wakha imodeli yeMegalosaurus kumboniso kwiCrystal Palace. Lo mzekelo usagcinwa nanamhlanje. Ngelo xesha, izazi ngezidalwa zamandulo zazingazange zisibone isidalwa esinjalo. Zaye zakhiwa ngokutsha zikhangeleka zifana nenamba evela kwintsomi edumileyo, ihamba ngomane kunye nentloko enkulu. Kwakuphakathi kwinkulungwane ye-XNUMX xa ezinye ii<em>theropod zafunyanwa eMzantsi Melika. Emva koko kwaveliswa umfanekiso ochane ngakumbi wendlela ezazikhangeleka ngayo ezi dinosaur.
Nangona kunjalo, kunye nezinto ezintsha ezifunyenweyo, ukudideka okukhulu kwahlala: Zonke iithropods zaseYurophu zazithathwa njengeMegalosaurs. Ukongeza, umzobo we-Megalosaurus skeleton waphinda waphinda waphinda waphinda waphinda waphinda wavela nangaphambi kokuba kufunyenwe i-vertebra yesi silwanyana. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, umzobi wekhathuni waseJamani uFriedrich von Huene wasebenzisa i-dorsal spines ye-Altispinax njengesiseko. Yenye i-theropod enkulu ene-spines ephezulu kwi-vertebrae yayo ye-dorsal, ngenxa yesizathu esithile yayihlelwa njenge-spinosaurid. Ngenxa yolu luhlu lwesiphithiphithi, imizobo emininzi yamandulo yeMegalosaurus iyibonisa ngomphetho onzulu womqolo okanye iseyile encinci, efana naleyo yeSpinosaurus. Emva kokuba ihlabathi lezenzululwazi kunye ne-paleontological laqala ukuthatha ulwahlulo lwala ma-lizards aphelileyo, i-theropods yahlelwa kwakhona.
Imbali yeMegalosaurus
Le carnivore inkulu yayiyidayinaso yokuqala ethiywe kwaye ifundwe. Ngo-1676 kwafunyanwa iqhekeza lethambo kwindawo yokwari yaseCornwell eNgilani. Ukusuka apho, esi siqwenga sathunyelwa kwiYunivesithi yaseOxford ukuze sifundwe nguGqr Robert Plot. Emva konyaka, e1677, wapapasha inkcazo yeMegalosaurus. Iqhekeza lethambo elifunyenweyo laqatshelwa njengenxalenye ye-femur. Ngokusuka kolu lwazi, ekuphela kwento ababenokuyifumana kwikhowudi kukuba yayiyidayinaso enkulu kangangokuba kwakungenakwenzeka ukuba ibe kuyo nayiphi na into eyaziwayo ngelo xesha.

Ngelishwa, iqhekeza lethambo lanyamalala. Nangona kunjalo, kukho umzekeliso oneenkcukacha ezininzi ngaye. Oku kusetyenziselwe ukuyifunda ngokweenkcukacha. Kwiminyaka kamva, ngo-1852, uBenjamin Waterhouse Hawkins wenza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo weMegalosaurus weCrystal Palace, oye waba yimpumelelo kwihlabathi le-paleontological.
Ukutya kweMegalosaurus
Ubukhulu beMegalosaurus benza ukuba izazinzulu zicinge ukuba isenokuba yinyama edla inyama enomdla omkhulu. Kungenzeka ukuba amaxhoba abo aquka ii-stegosaurs kunye nezinye ii-sauropods, ezifana neCardiodon kunye ne-Bothriospondylus. Le thiyori iyaxhaswa kuba zonke zihambelana nexesha leJurassic. Noko ke, ezinye izazinzulu azivumi ukuba yayingumzingeli okhutheleyo. Kukho iingcamango ezibonisa ukuba i-Megalosaurus yayinokuba yi-scavenger. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, kusenokwenzeka ukuba ukutya kwazo kwakusekelwe kwizilwanyana ezifileyo okanye kwixhoba engazange ligqitywe zezinye izilwanyana ezizidlayo.
