Mfundo zosangalatsa
Apatoraptor had no teeth. Its beak was toothless, like a bird's.2
Its name means 'deceptive thief' because its skeleton was mistaken for a different kind of dinosaur for many years.1
The fossil was found in 1993 but sat on a shelf for 15 years before scientists realized it was something new.1
Apatoraptor had pits on its arm bones that show it had feathers on its wings. These wings were probably used for display, not flight.1
It is one of the most complete caenagnathid skeletons ever found in Alberta, with many bones still in their original positions.1
Apatoraptor lived during the Maastrichtian age, about 72 to 66 million years ago.4
Its neck was long and made of at least 11 vertebrae, and its ribs had finger-like extensions called uncinate processes.2

It lived about 70 million years ago, during the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, in what is now Alberta, Canada.3
Wothetsa nthano zabodza
Nthano: Apatoraptor could fly because it had feathered wings.
Zoona: Apatoraptor had wings with feathers, but they were too small and weak for flight. They were probably used to show off to other dinosaurs.1

- Scientists are still debating exactly how Apatoraptor and other caenagnathids are related to each other. This skeleton helped clear up some of those relationships.2
