Prettige feite
Shanag is known from only a partial skull: a right maxilla (upper jaw bone), dentary (lower jaw bone), and part of the splenial (a jaw bone).2
It was a dromaeosaurid, meaning it was a close relative of famous raptors like Velociraptor and Deinonychus.2
Shanag had special air pockets inside its jawbone between the tooth sockets, called interalveolar pneumatic cavities.2
Unlike many other theropods, Shanag lacked a promaxillary fenestra, a small opening in the front of the snout.2
Shanag lived alongside Psittacosaurus, a small horned dinosaur, and large sauropods in the Öösh region.1
The fossils of Shanag were found in rocks that are about 130 million years old, from the Early Cretaceous period.1
