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

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
