Dalingheornis
Dalingheornis was a tiny bird that lived during the early Cretaceous period, about 122 million years ago. It had special feet that helped it climb trees, making it one of the first birds to live in the trees. Its long tail had 20 bones, just like some meat-eating dinosaurs!12

Makambo ya kosepelisa
Dalingheornis is the first Mesozoic bird known to have heterodactyl feet, which means its toes were arranged for climbing, like a modern woodpecker.12
Its tail was unusually long for a bird, with 20 vertebrae, and it had chevron bones like those of dromaeosaurid dinosaurs.12
The only known fossil is a juvenile, so scientists think the long tail might have been a baby feature that changed as it grew up.1
Dalingheornis was named after Yang Liwei, the first Chinese astronaut in space.1
It lived in the early Cretaceous period, about 122 million years ago, in what is now Liaoning Province, China.1

Mobuki masapo
Lisapo: Some people think Dalingheornis had a reversed second toe claw for climbing.
Solo: Scientists are not sure if the claw was really reversed or just moved after the animal died.1
