Changzhousaurus
Changzhousaurus was a tiny, feathered dinosaur that lived about 120 million years ago in what is now China. It had big wings on its arms, smaller wings on its legs, and a fan of long tail feathers, kind of like a peacock. This little hunter is a close cousin of Velociraptor and Microraptor.12

עובדות כיפיות
Changzhousaurus is the only known early bird relative that had both large foot feathers and very long tail feathers at the same time.32
It had about 16 long tail feathers, which were about four times as long as its thigh bone, and they fanned out like a peacock's tail.32
Even though its arm bones were short, its wing feathers were the largest ever seen on a dinosaur that wasn't a bird, compared to its body size.3
The fossil is so well preserved that you can see clear imprints of feathers all around its skeleton.2
