Prettige feite

Yulong is known from several juvenile skeletons and even an embryo inside an egg, making it one of the best-known baby oviraptorids.1

The name Yulong comes from 'Yu', the short name for Henan Province, and 'long', meaning dragon in Chinese.1

Most Yulong individuals were only 25 to 50 centimetres long, about the size of a chicken.1

Scientists think Yulong was more advanced than the giant oviraptorid Gigantoraptor, but its exact family tree is still uncertain.1

One nest of 26 eggs was found, and one of the eggs contained a well-preserved Yulong embryo.1

Yulong lived during the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs, about 72 to 66 million years ago.3

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Yulong
Benoem deur: Lü et al. 20133
Groep: Snaakse dino's met vere
Familie / klade: Oviraptoridae3
Klassifikasie: Theropoda > Oviraptorosauria3
Ouderdom van die rotse: 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Maastrichtian)3
Rotsformasies: Qiupa3
Lande: China3
Fossielrekords: 2 in The Paleobiology Database3
Ontdekking: Yulong was named in 2013 by Junchang Lü and colleagues based on five juvenile skeletons found near Qiupa Town in Henan, China.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly where Yulong fits on the oviraptorid family tree, because the known specimens are mostly young and may look more primitive than adults.1
