Prettige feite

Almas had a very short snout, like a puppy, which is unusual for a troodontid dinosaur.1

Its skull was only about 8 centimeters long, much smaller than other adult troodontids from the same time and place.1

Almas had a unique spike-like process on its ischium (a hip bone) that no other troodontid had.1

The third chevron (a bone under the tail) of Almas was more than three times as long as the tail vertebra above it.1

Almas lived about 75 to 71 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous, in a sandy desert.1

Its name comes from Mongolian folklore, where 'Almas' is a wild man or snowman.1

KI-prent van Almas — 'n KI-prent van hoe Almas dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Almas
Benoem deur: Pei et al. 20172
Groep: Raptors

Ontdekking: Almas was discovered in 1993 by a joint expedition of the American Museum of Natural History and the Mongolian Academy of Sciences at Ukhaa Tolgod, Mongolia. It was named and described by Rui Pei and colleagues in 2017.1
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure whether Almas was fully grown or a juvenile, because its bones show some adult features but it is very small.1
