Adasaurus was a feathered raptor that lived in what is now Mongolia. It had a small, blunt sickle claw on its foot, unlike most other raptors. Scientists think it may have used this claw less often for hunting.1

Prettige feite

Adasaurus had a small, blunt sickle claw on its second toe, unlike the big, sharp claw of most raptors.1

It lived about 70 to 68 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

Adasaurus is a dromaeosaurid, a group of dinosaurs closely related to birds.1

The first fossils of Adasaurus were found in the 1970s and named by Mongolian paleontologist Rinchen Barsbold in 1983.1

Some scientists once thought the small sickle claw did not belong to Adasaurus, but later studies confirmed it was real.1

Adasaurus shared its home with giant dinosaurs like Tarbosaurus and Deinocheirus.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Adasaurus

?How big was Adasaurus?

?Why did Adasaurus have a small sickle claw?

Adasaurus had a small, blunt sickle claw on its second toe, unlike the big sharp claws of most raptors. Scientists think it may have used this claw less often for hunting.1

?When did Adasaurus live?

?Where was Adasaurus found?

Adasaurus fossils were found in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia, in the Gobi Desert.1

Mite-breker

Mite: All raptors had huge, sharp sickle claws for slashing prey.

Waarheid: Adasaurus had a small, blunt sickle claw, so not all raptors had big claws.1
