Prettige feite
Vayuraptor's name comes from Vayu, the Hindu god of wind, because its long, slender shin bone suggests it was a fast runner.1
The first Vayuraptor fossils were found in 1988 by Paladej Srisuk, but the dinosaur wasn't named until 2019.12
Scientists know Vayuraptor from a partial skeleton, including a left shin bone with fused ankle bones, which shows it was a mature adult.1
Vayuraptor had a very tall and narrow ankle bone, with a height to width ratio of 1.66, which is unique to this dinosaur.2
Vayuraptor lived alongside other dinosaurs like Phuwiangvenator, Kinnareemimus, and Siamosaurus in the Sao Khua Formation of Thailand.1
