Elopteryx was a small, bird-like dinosaur that lived on an island in the ancient sea. It had feathers and might have been able to fly, but scientists think it may have lost that ability later. It was a meat-eater that hunted small animals.1

Ebyewuunyisa

Elopteryx lived about 70 to 66 million years ago, near the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs.1

Its fossils were found on Hațeg Island, which was a large island in the ancient sea that covered parts of Europe.1

For a long time, scientists thought Elopteryx was a bird, not a dinosaur. Now they think it was a bird-like dinosaur.1

A 2024 study found that Elopteryx was secondarily flightless, meaning it evolved from flying ancestors but lost the ability to fly.1

Some scientists think Elopteryx might be the same animal as Balaur bondoc, another dinosaur from Romania.1

Elopteryx is known from only a few leg bones, so scientists are still unsure exactly what it looked like.1

Ebibuuzo ebisinga okubuuzibwa ku Elopteryx

?How big was Elopteryx?

Elopteryx was small, about the size of a large pelican or a big cormorant, based on its leg bones. Scientists are still unsure of its exact size because only a few fossils have been found.1 3

?Could Elopteryx fly?

Scientists are not certain if Elopteryx could fly. While some studies suggest it may have been flightless, more evidence is needed to confirm its flight capabilities.1 4

?What did Elopteryx eat?

Elopteryx was a meat-eater that hunted small animals. Its sharp teeth and claws helped it catch prey.1

?Is Elopteryx the same as Balaur bondoc?

Maybe. Some scientists think Elopteryx might be the same animal as Balaur bondoc, another dinosaur from Romania. More fossils are needed to be sure.1 4

?When did Elopteryx live?

Elopteryx lived about 70 to 66 million years ago, near the very end of the Age of Dinosaurs.1

?Where was Elopteryx found?

Elopteryx fossils were found on Hațeg Island, which was a large island in the ancient sea that covered parts of what is now Romania.1
