Datos curiosos
Qiupalong is one of the few non-avian dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous known from both Asia and North America.1
The name Qiupalong means 'dragon from the Qiupa Formation', the rock layer where it was first found in China.1
Scientists think Qiupalong originally evolved in North America and later migrated to Asia near the end of the Cretaceous.1
The holotype specimen includes bones from the hips, legs, and feet, but no skull has been found yet.1
Qiupalong lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Maastrichtian stage, the very last part of the Cretaceous Period.12
Its foot had a special 'arctometatarsalian' condition, where the middle toe bone was pinched at the top, making the foot slender and good for running.1
