Ganzhousaurus was a small, bird-like dinosaur that lived in southern China near the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It had a beaky mouth and probably used its strong claws and teeth to eat plants, seeds, and maybe even small animals.1 4

Ganzhousaurus lived alongside at least four other oviraptorid dinosaurs, including Banji long and Nankangia jiangxiensis, all in the same area.1

Its lower jaw had a shallow groove and a special window (the external mandibular fenestra) that was split into two parts by a bone.2

The name Ganzhousaurus means 'Ganzhou lizard' after the city in China where its fossils were found.1

Ganzhousaurus lived during the very end of the Cretaceous Period, about 72 to 66 million years ago.1

Scientists are not sure exactly where Ganzhousaurus fits in the oviraptorid family tree; some think it is related to Oviraptor, others to the 'ingeniine' group.1

This dinosaur probably had feathers, like many of its oviraptorid relatives, helping it stay warm and maybe even show off.1
