Prettige feite

Kunpengornis is the fourth Early Cretaceous bird found with direct evidence of eating fish.2

It lived in a lake environment in what is now China, about 121 to 113 million years ago.2

Kunpengornis had a long, pointed beak and small teeth only in the back half of its upper jaw.2

Its name comes from Kunpeng, a giant mythical bird from Chinese folklore.1

The only known fossil is a nearly complete skeleton found by a farmer and donated to a museum.2

Kunpengornis was not fully grown when it died; its bones were still fusing together.2
