Datos curiosos

1

Megapnosaurus was one of the first dinosaurs ever shown with feathers in pictures, even though no one has found actual feathers with its fossils.1

2

At least 30 Megapnosaurus skeletons were found together in Zimbabwe, which suggests they might have lived or hunted in groups.1

3

Its name changed over time: first it was called Syntarsus, but that name was already used for a beetle, so scientists gave it a new name in 2001.1

4

Megapnosaurus had an S-shaped neck and long hind legs that looked like the legs of a secretary bird.1

5

Its hands had four fingers, which is more than most later meat-eating dinosaurs had.1

6

Some scientists think Megapnosaurus might actually belong to the genus Coelophysis, but most recent studies say it is its own genus.1
