Prettige feite

Sinovenator is one of the oldest and most primitive troodontids, a group of dinosaurs very closely related to birds.2 1

Its pubic bone pointed backward, like in dromaeosaurs and early birds, showing that later troodontids evolved a forward-pointing pubis separately.1

Sinovenator had a large brain for its size, making it one of the smartest dinosaurs of its time.1

Hundreds of Sinovenator fossils have been found, but most are still waiting to be studied.1

The species name 'changii' honors Chinese paleontologist Meemann Chang for her work on the Jehol Biota.1

Sinovenator lived alongside many other feathered dinosaurs and early birds in the Jehol ecosystem.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Sinovenator

?How big was Sinovenator?

About 1 metre long and weighed around 2.5 kilograms. That is about the size of a large chicken, though some adults may have been twice that length.1 3

?What did Sinovenator eat?

It was a carnivore, meaning it ate meat. It had sharp teeth and claws to hunt small animals.3

?Did Sinovenator have feathers?

The sources do not say for sure, but since it was a bird-like troodontid closely related to birds, many scientists think it probably had feathers.1

?When did Sinovenator live?

It lived during the Early Cretaceous Period, about 127 to 121 million years ago.3

?Where was Sinovenator found?

Its fossils were found in China, in the Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province.1 3

?Was Sinovenator a dinosaur?

Yes, it was a small theropod dinosaur, specifically a troodontid.1 3

Mite-breker

Mite: Sinovenator was a bird.

Waarheid: Sinovenator was a non-avian dinosaur, but it was very bird-like and is a close relative of birds.1
