Koreanosaurus
This small plant eater has led scientists to consider a life around burrows.
This small plant eater has led scientists to consider a life around burrows. It is known from parts of its body rather than a complete skull. Its limbs offer clues to how it moved and a possible relationship with animals capable of digging.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Koreanosaurus
Koreanosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous. Its fossils and relatives suggest a plant-based diet.
The incomplete skeletons were found in Boseong, South Korea. Alongside their anatomy, researchers study structures preserved in the site’s rocks: the surroundings can add information that the bones alone cannot provide.
Burrowing has been proposed, but this is a scientific interpretation, not observed behavior. It is useful to learn both the idea and the evidence supporting it, without automatically treating it as certain.
