Prettige feite

Kuru's fossils were discovered on July 5, 1991, just hours before another raptor called Shri devi was found nearby.1

Kuru had a sharp hornlet on its skull, above the eye, which might have been used for display or fighting.2

This raptor had a deep jaw bone with two holes (foramina) for blood vessels and nerves.2

Kuru lived alongside another raptor called Shri devi, and scientists think they might have eaten similar food.1

The name 'Kuru' was once mistakenly called 'Airakoraptor' in a scientific paper, but that name was never official.1

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

Mite-breker

Mite: Some people think Kuru was a cannibal because its name sounds like 'kuru' disease.

Waarheid: The name actually comes from a Buddhist goddess, not the disease.2

Groep: Raptors
Familie / klade: Dromaeosauridae3
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Dromaeosauridae3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 84 tot 72 miljoen jaar (Campanian)3
Rotsformasies: Baruungoyot3
Lande: Mongolië3

Ontdekking: Kuru was named in 2021 by James Napoli and colleagues, based on a skeleton found in 1991 by an American-Mongolian team in the Gobi Desert.1 3
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly what Kuru ate, because its skull is too incomplete to compare with other raptors.1
