Falcatakely was a crow-sized bird that lived in Madagascar 66 to 72 million years ago. It had a long, deep beak like a toucan, which was very unusual for a bird from the time of dinosaurs.1

1

Falcatakely had a beak that looked like a toucan's, but it was not a close relative of toucans. Its beak shape evolved separately.1

2

The upper jaw of Falcatakely was made mostly of a large, toothless maxilla bone, with a small premaxilla that held teeth.1

3

Falcatakely is one of the few Mesozoic birds known to have a deep, long beak. Most early birds had simple, short snouts.1

4

This bird belonged to a group called Enantiornithes, which were the most common birds during the Cretaceous period.3

5

The only known fossil of Falcatakely was found in the Maevarano Formation in Madagascar, a site famous for other unusual animals like the giant frog Beelzebufo.3

6

Falcatakely shows that some ancient birds evolved large beaks before modern birds appeared, challenging old ideas about beak evolution.1

Falcatakely was named in 2020 by Patrick O'Connor and colleagues based on a fossil skull found in Madagascar.31

Scientists are still debating exactly how Falcatakely used its unusual beak, since it had teeth in the front but a large toothless beak behind.1
