Indrasaurus is a genus of extinct lizards, containing one species, Indrasaurus wangi. Its fossil remains were found as stomach contents of a Microraptor fossil specimen found in the Liaoning province, China in 2003. It was found by a team of paleontologists led by Professor Jingmai O'Connor from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), together with researchers from the Shandong Tianyu Museum of Nature. The stomach content of the Microraptor was not recognised by scientists when it was first uncovered. On further examination by scientists in 2019, the Microraptor stomach contents were revealed to contain the fully swallowed remains of a previously unknown lizard species. Following this, the new species was formally described and named in 2019. The species was

The stomach content of the Microraptor was not recognised by scientists when it was first uncovered. On further examination by scientists in 2019, the Microraptor stomach contents were revealed to contain the fully swallowed remains of a previously unknown lizard species. Following this, the new species was formally described and named in 2019. The species was named after Prof. Wang Yuan of IVPP, also the director of the Paleozoological Museum of China at the time of identification of the species and an expert on the of China. The name Indrasaurus was inspired by a Vedic legend in which god Indra was swallowed by the dragon Vritra during a great battle (the dragon in the legend being equated with the Microraptor specimen that had swallowed the lizard specimen).

  • Indrasaurus wangi Indrasaurus Genre † Indrasaurus et al., 2019 Espèce † Indrasaurus wangi et al., 2019 Indrasaurus est un genre éteint de lézards ayant vécu au Crétacé inférieur, il y a environ 130 millions d'années. Il a été retrouvé au sein de la formation géologique de Jehol, dans la province du Liaoning, en Chine. Le spécimen type de l'unique espèce, I. wangi, fut retrouvé fossilisé dans la cavité abdominale d'un petit dinosaure Dromaesauridae, Microraptor zhaoianus, dont il était ainsi la proie à l'instar de petits mammifères, téléostéens et oiseaux. À en juger par sa position, le lézard a été gobé la tête la première par le dinosaure. Il a été nommé ainsi en référence au dieu hindou Indra qui, selon une légende, a été avalé par un dragon qu'il était en train de combattre. (fr)
