Piscivoravis was an ancient bird that lived in China about 120 million years ago. It loved to eat fish, and we know this because fish bones were found inside its fossilized stomach and near its beak. This bird could probably fly and lived near lakes.1

Ebyewuunyisa

Piscivoravis is one of only two early birds from the Jehol Biota that we know for sure ate fish. The other is Yanornis.1

The fossil of Piscivoravis shows fish bones in two places: a small cluster near the beak and a larger cluster in the belly. Scientists think the small cluster might be a pellet that the bird was about to cough up.1

This bird had a broad breastbone that was wider than it was long, which is unusual for early birds.1

Piscivoravis had large, strongly curved claws on its hands, which might have helped it catch fish.1

The name Piscivoravis comes from Latin and means 'fish-eating bird'.1

Piscivoravis lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 120 million years ago, in what is now northeastern China.1

Okuzuulibwa: Piscivoravis was named by Zhou and colleagues in 2013 based on a nearly complete skeleton found near Xiaotaizi village in Liaoning, China. The species name 'lii' honors Li Yutong, who prepared many important bird fossils.1
Kikyakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo: Scientists are not sure if Piscivoravis changed its diet with the seasons, like some other early birds may have done. Only one fossil has been found so far.1
