<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="archaeocycnus-lacustris"></dinofyi-dinosaur>†Archaeocycnus lacustris was an extinct swan from Pliocene lake deposits of New South Wales, Australia. A large aquatic herbivore with the long neck and broad flat bill characteristic of swans, it inhabited ancient Australian freshwater lakes. Named for its lake-dwelling habits, its fossils document the former presence of large swans in Australia before the Pleistocene aridification.
Diet & Feeding
Archaeocycnus lacustris was a plant-eating dinosaur. Herbivores typically fed on ferns, cycads, conifers, and other vegetation available during their era. Many herbivorous dinosaurs developed specialized teeth and digestive systems for processing tough plant material.
