Prettige feite

Aberratiodontus had more teeth than any other early bird, with up to 21 teeth on each side of its lower jaw.2

Its teeth were different sizes, like a mammal's, with big fang-like teeth in the front and smaller ones in the back.2

This bird could replace its teeth, with new teeth growing from the inside of the tooth row, similar to crocodiles.2

Aberratiodontus was about twice as big as another early bird called Longipteryx.2

Its wishbone (furcula) was long and shaped like that of the older bird Archaeopteryx.2

Some scientists think Aberratiodontus might actually be the same species as another bird called Yanornis martini.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Aberratiodontus

?Was Aberratiodontus a dinosaur?

Yes, Aberratiodontus was a dinosaur. Birds are a group of theropod dinosaurs, and Aberratiodontus is classified as an ancient bird.3 4

?How big was Aberratiodontus?

It was about twice as big as another early bird called Longipteryx, but its exact size is not given. The related bird Yanornis martini was the size of a chicken.4 3

?What did Aberratiodontus eat?

It was a carnivore, meaning it ate meat. Its relative Yanornis martini ate fish, so Aberratiodontus probably ate fish or other small animals too.4 3

?When did Aberratiodontus live?

It lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 121 to 113 million years ago, in what is now China.4
