In Depth
Ledumahadi is a lessemsaurid sauropod dinosaur that lived in South Africa during the early Jurassic. As a member of the Lessemsauridae, Ledumahadi would have been similar to other lessemsaurid genera such as Antetonitrus, Lessemsaurus and Ingentia. Like these genera, Ledumahadi was not so much long, but very stocky, with especially well built forelimbs.
