What kind of animal is Abrosaurus?
Abrosaurus is a genus of macronarian sauropod dinosaur that lived in the Middle Jurassic Period, about 168 to 161 million years ago, in what is now Asia.
It was one of many dinosaurs found at the Dashanpu Quarry in the Sichuan Province of China.
Abrosaurus was a quadrupedal herbivore with a boxy head and a tall bony arch containing the nostrils.
It was relatively small for a sauropod, not much more than 9 meters (30 feet) long.
The name Abrosaurus means "delicate lizard" and refers to the thin bony struts that separated the large openings in the skull.
Abrosaurus was originally classified as a camarasaurid, but later studies suggested that it was a basal member of Macronaria, a group of sauropods that includes Camarasaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Titanosauria.
Abrosaurus is known from a nearly complete and well-preserved skull and some fragmentary postcranial remains, but a full description of its anatomy is still lacking.

Where does the Abrosaurus live?
Abrosaurus was a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Middle Jurassic Period, about 168 to 161 million years ago.
It was one of many dinosaurs found at the Dashanpu Quarry in the Sichuan Province of China.
Abrosaurus was a herbivore that fed on plants with its boxy head and tall bony arch containing the nostrils.
It was a relatively small sauropod, not much more than 30 feet (9.1 m) long.
Abrosaurus was a basal member of Macronaria, a group of sauropods that includes Camarasaurus and Brachiosaurus.
The only named species of Abrosaurus is A. dongpoi, which is named after Su Shi, a famous Chinese poet who was born in Sichuan.
Abrosaurus was first described by Ouyang Hui in 1989, based on a nearly complete and well-preserved fossil skull.
A fragmentary skull and a skeleton have also been referred to this genus, but they have not been fully described.
Abrosaurus shared its habitat with at least four other species of sauropods, as well as other dinosaurs such as stegosaurs, ornithopods, and theropods.
Abrosaurus was probably adapted to live in a warm and humid environment, with abundant vegetation and water sources.
