Кызыктуу фактылар
Camptodontornis was originally named Camptodontus, but that name was already used for a beetle, so scientists had to give it a new name in 2019.1
This bird had a Y-shaped furcula, which is the wishbone that helps birds fly.2
Its teeth were strongly curved backward, which helped it hold onto slippery prey.2
Camptodontornis belongs to the family Longipterygidae, a group of early birds with long snouts.2
The only known fossil of Camptodontornis is a nearly complete skeleton found in the Jiufotang Formation of China.3
It lived about 121 to 113 million years ago, during the Aptian age of the Early Cretaceous.3
