Elsornis was a bird that lived in the Gobi Desert about 80 million years ago. It might have been flightless, like an ostrich, and used its strong legs to run after small animals and bugs.1 2

Elsornis had a wishbone filled with air, which is rare among its relatives, the enantiornithean birds.1 2

Its upper arm was much longer than its lower arm, a feature that helps scientists think it could not fly.2

Elsornis is known from a single, well-preserved skeleton that includes many bones like limbs, vertebrae, and ribs.1 2

It lived during the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, about 80 million years ago.1 2

Elsornis belongs to a group called Enantiornithes, also known as 'opposite birds', which had a different shoulder joint from modern birds.1 2

If Elsornis could not fly, it would be one of the few flightless birds from the time of dinosaurs.1 2
