English: Jakapil is a genus of basal thyreophoran dinosaur from what is now Argentina. It has a novel morphotype among thyreophorans, including the presence of a predentary bone, large, low osteoderms, and a bipedal stance. These unique characteristics put into question its status as a thyreophoran, and its phylogenetic placement is still under some debate. It is estimated to be less than 1.5 m long and 4.5-7 kg in weight, based on femoral circumference. Due to its straight, narrow snout, it is suggested that Jakapil did not use its teeth and jaws to shear leaves, but likely processed tough plant material through chewing, as evidenced by the high amount of wear on the teeth.
