Datu dibertigarriak

1

Feitianius had a tail with three different types of feathers, while most other early birds had only one type.1

2

The longest tail feathers were probably used for display, like the fancy tails of modern birds-of-paradise.1

3

Scientists think the fossil is a male because male birds today often have more colorful or elaborate tails.1

4

Feitianius lived about 121 to 113 million years ago, during the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous.2

5

Its thighbone was only 27 millimeters long, so it was a very small bird.1

6

The fossil was found in the Xiagou Formation in Gansu, China.1
