Prettige feite

Albinykus was one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs, weighing less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).1 2

Its leg bones were fused together in a way not seen in other alvarezsaurids. The ankle bones were completely joined to the shin bone and foot bones.1 2

The only skeleton found was in a sitting position, with its feet tucked under its body. This is like how birds sleep or rest.1 2

Albinykus is the first alvarezsaurid found in a crouching posture. This shows it was closely related to birds.1 2

Alvarezsaurids got smaller over time, and Albinykus was one of the smallest and most evolved of the group.1 2

The skeleton was found in the eastern Gobi Desert, at a place called Khugenetslavkant. It was the first articulated theropod skeleton found there.2

?How big was Albinykus?

Albinykus was one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs, weighing less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).1 2

?What did Albinykus eat?

Scientists think Albinykus ate insects, like ants, because its small teeth and strong claw resemble ant-eating mammals. But no direct proof has been found yet.3

?Did Albinykus have feathers?

Yes, Albinykus was a feathered dinosaur. It belonged to a group of dinosaurs closely related to birds.1

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Albinykus was a bird because it sat like one.

Waarheid: Albinykus was a dinosaur, not a bird. But it was closely related to birds, and its sitting posture is similar to how birds rest.1 2
