Prettige feite

Asiahesperornis was a flightless bird, but it was an excellent swimmer. It used its strong feet to push through the water.1

Unlike modern birds, Asiahesperornis had teeth in its beak. These teeth helped it grab slippery fish.1

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

Its fossils were found in what is now Kazakhstan, which was once covered by a shallow sea called the Turgai Sea.1

Asiahesperornis belonged to a group of birds called Hesperornithes, which were all flightless and toothed.1

The only known species is Asiahesperornis bazhanovi, named after a person named Bazhanov.1

KI-prent van Asiahesperornis — 'n KI-prent van hoe Asiahesperornis 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.
