Datos curiosos
Kank lived about 70 million years ago in a warm, wet place with rivers and ponds.1
Its neck bones had air chambers inside, making them light and strong.1
Kank had a big claw on its second toe, like other raptors, but it probably used it for fishing, not hunting on land.1
The first Kank fossils were found in 2018, but scientists needed more bones to know it was a new species.1
Kank shared its home with giant predators like Maip macrothorax, a megaraptorid over 10 metres long.1
Kank is part of a group called unenlagiids, which are found in South America, Antarctica, Australia and Madagascar.1
