Gobipteryx had a toothless beak, which is rare for a bird from the time of dinosaurs.1

Scientists think Gobipteryx could fly right after hatching, because its wing and shoulder bones were already strong in the egg.1

Gobipteryx was about the size of a partridge, with a skull only 45 millimeters long.1

The first Gobipteryx fossils were two damaged skulls found by a Polish-Mongolian expedition in 1971.1 2

Gobipteryx belongs to a group of ancient birds called Enantiornithes, which all went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.1

Its bones grew quickly, like those of modern birds, but its growth slowed down right after hatching.1
