Datos curiosos

1

Corythoraptor had a tall, hollow crest on its head, just like a cassowary bird. Scientists think this crest was used for showing off, communicating, and maybe attracting a mate.1

2

Its neck was twice as long as its back and slightly longer than its whole arm, including the hand.1

3

The only known fossil of Corythoraptor is from a young adult that was about eight years old when it died.1

4

Corythoraptor belonged to a group of dinosaurs called oviraptorids, which had short, deep skulls and no teeth.1

5

This dinosaur was named after Professor Louis L. Jacobs, a paleontologist who helped teach the scientists who described it.1

6

Corythoraptor lived alongside six other oviraptorid dinosaurs in the Ganzhou area, making it one of the most diverse places for these dinosaurs.1
