Prettige feite

Elmisaurus had a fused tarsometatarsus, meaning its ankle and foot bones were joined together like in modern birds.1 2

Its name comes from the Mongolian word 'elmyi' meaning 'foot sole', because the first fossil found was a foot bone.1

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

Some scientists think Elmisaurus might be the same animal as Nomingia, another dinosaur from the same time and place.4 1

Elmisaurus was a caenagnathid, a group of dinosaurs that looked like birds and had toothless beaks.1

The first Elmisaurus fossils were found by a Polish-Mongolian expedition in 1970.1

julle het gevra

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Elmisaurus

?How big was Elmisaurus?

Elmisaurus was a small dinosaur, about the size of a turkey or a large bird. Scientists estimate it was around 1.5 to 2 metres long.1 3

?Did Elmisaurus have feathers?

Yes, Elmisaurus was a feathered dinosaur. It belonged to a group called oviraptorosaurs, which are known to have had feathers.1

?What did Elmisaurus eat?

Elmisaurus had a toothless beak, so it likely ate plants, small animals, or eggs. Scientists are not completely sure, but it was probably an omnivore.1

?When did Elmisaurus live?

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

Mite-breker

Mite: Elmisaurus was a bird because its foot bones were fused.

Waarheid: Elmisaurus was a dinosaur, not a bird. The fused foot bone is a feature that dinosaurs and birds share, but it does not make it a bird.2
