Prettige feite

Wulatelong had a toothless, parrot-like beak, which is unusual for a theropod dinosaur.1

It is known from a nearly complete skeleton, which is rare for oviraptorid dinosaurs.1

Wulatelong lived alongside famous dinosaurs like Velociraptor and Protoceratops.1

Its name comes from the Wulate area in China, where it was found, and 'long' means dragon in Chinese.1

Scientists think Wulatelong was a basal oviraptorid, meaning it was one of the earlier members of its group.1 2

The fossils were found in rocks that are between 83 and 72 million years old, from the Campanian stage.1 5

KI-prent van Wulatelong — 'n KI-prent van hoe Wulatelong 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 Wulatelong was a bird because it had feathers and a beak.

Waarheid: Wulatelong was a dinosaur, not a bird, even though it was bird-like and related to birds.1
