Nqwebasaurus was an African ornithomimosaur

It is the first Gondwanan ornithomimosaur as well as the most basal.

For those of you who don´t remember, Nqwebasaurus was a small- less than one meter long- dino first known by the nickname "Kirky". It was in an old documentary about African dinos by Discovery Channel if I'm not mistaken.

Well, that solves that mystery. I remember seeing that show long ago. It was called Jurassica over here (Paleoworld in the States). I never could find any additional info on the enigmatic 'Kirky'.

Paleoworld... I think that was it.

It also had a segment about Egyptian dinos if I'm not mistaken, and they depicted Spinosaurus with a short snout and smaller than Carcharodontosaurus :pac:

That's the one. Be on the lookout for the rare re-edit by National Geographic narrated by none other than Jeff 'Dr. Ian Malcom' Goldblum!

He does trail off mid sentence quite a bit in it actually...

He's no Christian 'Dinosaur Planet' Slater anyway. I swear that lad was on an acid trip the whole time!

I wouldn´t mind hearing Richard Attenborough or Sam Neill narrating a dinosaur documentary, tho :P And I do want to check out the Jeff, ah, Goldblum one just for the lulz

Sam Neill narrated the SuperCroc documentary that co-incided with the unveiling of Sarcosuchus. that was also made by National Geographic.
