Notes: Based upon fragmentary remains discovered in Lesotho,
Africa, the Fabrosaurus specimen may prove to be a Scelidosauridae
or a Lesothosaurus. Fabrosaurus' long hind legs suggest that it
was a good runner. Its shorter forelimbs bore five-fingered hands,
with which it grasped the plants it ate. Its jaw was equipped with
very tiny, ridged teeth, and a horny beak.
