Mfundo zosangalatsa
Albinykus was one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs, weighing less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).12
Its leg bones were fused together in a way not seen in other alvarezsaurids. The ankle bones were completely joined to the shin bone and foot bones.12
The only skeleton found was in a sitting position, with its feet tucked under its body. This is like how birds sleep or rest.12
Albinykus is the first alvarezsaurid found in a crouching posture. This shows it was closely related to birds.12
Alvarezsaurids got smaller over time, and Albinykus was one of the smallest and most evolved of the group.12
The skeleton was found in the eastern Gobi Desert, at a place called Khugenetslavkant. It was the first articulated theropod skeleton found there.2
