Wulong was a tiny, feathered dinosaur that lived about 120 million years ago in what is now China. It had long tail feathers and looked a bit like a bird, but it was actually a fierce little hunter related to Velociraptor.1

Prettige feite

1

Wulong was only about 1 year old when it died, and it was still growing.1

2

It had two very long tail feathers that were more than 12 centimeters (about 5 inches) long, probably used for display.2

3

Wulong had feathers on its arms, legs, and tail, including fluffy down feathers and stiff flight feathers.1

4

Its skeleton was found lying in a natural pose, with all bones still connected.2

5

Wulong had more than 29 bones in its tail, which helped make it a good runner and jumper.2

6

Scientists studied the inside of Wulong's leg bones to figure out its age, the first time this was done for a microraptorine dinosaur.1

Deur KI gemaakKI-prent van Wulong
'n KI-prent van hoe Wulong 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 all dinosaurs with feathers could fly like birds.

Waarheid: Wulong had feathers but could not fly. It used its feathers for warmth, display, and maybe gliding short distances.1

Ontdekking
Wulong was named in 2020 by Ashley Poust and colleagues. The only known fossil was found in the Jiufotang Formation in Liaoning, China.31
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure exactly how big a fully grown Wulong would have been, because the only specimen found so far is a juvenile.1
