Jobaria

Jobaria is a type of dinosaur that lived in Africa about 160 million years ago.
It was a huge plant-eating animal with a long neck and tail.
Jobaria belongs to a group of dinosaurs called sauropods, which were some of the largest land animals ever.
Jobaria was one of the most primitive sauropods, meaning it had a simple backbone and tail compared to the later ones.
Jobaria was also able to stand up on its hind legs, which may have helped it reach higher plants or defend itself from predators.
Jobaria is known for being one of the most complete sauropod fossils ever found, with over 95% of its skeleton preserved.
It was discovered in 1997 by a team of paleontologists led by Dr. Paul Sereno in the Sahara desert of Niger.
The name Jobaria comes from a local myth about a giant beast called Jobar, whose bones some people thought the fossils were.

Jobaria was a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Niger during the middle Jurassic Period, between 164 and 161 million years ago.
Jobaria is currently the only known valid sauropod from the Tiouraren Formation, where it was discovered in 1997 by paleontologist Dr. Paul Sereno and his team.

Jobaria was a large, plant-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now Niger about 164 to 161 million years ago.

It was a primitive sauropod, meaning it had a long neck and tail, four pillar-like legs, and a small head.

Jobaria was about 18 meters (60 feet) long and weighed about 22 tons.

Its neck was relatively short compared to other sauropods, and its backbone and tail were simple and not very flexible.

Its head was elongated and resembled that of Camarasaurus, another sauropod.

Jobaria was named after a local mythical beast, Jobar, whose bones some people believed the fossils to be.
