The animal, named Chakisaurus nekul, was found in the Pueblo Blanco Natural Reserve, in the southern province of Río Negro, an area rich in fossils where many mammals, turtles, and fish have been found along with other species of dinosaur. Studies of Chakisaurus yielded new findings indicating that it was a fast runner and had its tail curved unusually downward.Argentine palaeontologist Sebastian Rozadilla holds a fossil of the 'Chakisaurus nekul', an newly-discovered herbivorous dinosaur that lived about 90 million years ago in the Patagonia region, at the Buenos Aires' Natural Science museum, in Buenos Aires, Argentina April 24, 2024.

In addition, it is known that it was a good runner, which was something it needed because it lived with a large number of predators and its only defence was to be faster than them.”The dinosaur’s name derives from Chaki, which is a word from the Aonikenk language, of the indigenous Tehuelche people, which means “old guanaco”, a reference to a medium-sized herbivore mammal found in the region.
