Kholumolumo (referring to a type of dragon the local Basuto associate with dinosaurs), formerly "Kholumolumosaurus" or "Thotobolosaurus", is an extinct genus of massopodan sauropodomorph dinosaur, which was closely related to Sarahsaurus,[1] from the lower Elliot Formation of Maphutseng, Lesotho.

[1] In 1930, Samuel Motsoane, principal of the Paris Evangelical Mission School at Bethesda in Lesotho, found dispersed dinosaur bones.

The location was locally called the Thotobolo ea ‘Ma-Beata, the "trash heap of Beata's mother".

In November 1955, they were reinforced by the South-African paleontologists Alfred Walter Crompton and Rosalie F. "Griff" Ewer.

[2] The excavations were continued from February 1956 onwards and at the end of the second field season, the number of pieces had increased to 683, collected from a surface of thirty-five square metres.

[1] In 1966, François Ellenberger and Ginsburg for the first time described the bones in detail and referred them to Euskelosaurus browni.

The generic name is the kholumolumo or xodumodumo, a gigantic reptile, sometimes described as a dragon, lizard or crocodile, from the mythology of the Sotho.

[1] Since no complete skeletons of Kholumolumo have been discovered, much of what is known about its physical appearance and diet has to be inferred from its close relatives.

The shinbone is very short and robust, its circumference measuring 53% of its length: in all other known non-sauropod Sauropodomorpha this ratio is lower than 0.49, with the exception of Antetonitrus and Blikanasaurus.
