Daxiatitan binglingi

†Daxiatitan binglingi is a massive titanosaur sauropod from the Early Cretaceous of Gansu Province, China. Estimated at ~26–30 m in length, it ranks among the longest dinosaurs known from Asia. This herbivore grazed on low vegetation across ancient floodplains and represents the dominant megaherbivore of its ecosystem.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Daxiatitan binglingi 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.

Time Period

Cretaceous Early Mesozoic Era

Daxiatitan binglingi lived during the Cretaceous Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 145,0 to 100,5 million years ago.

The Cretaceous saw continued dinosaur evolution with the rise of ornithopods and early ceratopsians. Flowering plants first appeared and began to transform terrestrial ecosystems. Spinosaurus and other large theropods lived during this time.
