Manidens condorensis

Natunaornis gigoura was a giant extinct pigeon from Quaternary Vanuatu. This large flightless pigeon—comparable in size to the famous Dodo—evolved on Pacific islands free from mammalian predators and was extirpated following Polynesian colonization.

Diet & Feeding

Herbivore

Manidens condorensis 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

Jurassic Early Mesozoic Era

Manidens condorensis lived during the Jurassic Early period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 201,4 to 174,7 million years ago.

After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, dinosaurs rapidly diversified and became the dominant land vertebrates. Early sauropods and theropods began to evolve larger body sizes.
