Linhenykus was a tiny dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous period. It is famous for having only one big finger on each hand, making it the only non-avian dinosaur known with just one digit. It probably used its single claw to dig into insect nests for food.21

Fatgs divertents

1

Linhenykus is the only known non-avian dinosaur that had just one functional finger on each hand.2

2

It was very small, only about 50 centimetres (1.6 feet) long and weighed around 500 grams (18 ounces).1

3

The fossil was found in the Wulansuhai Formation, which is about 75 to 71 million years old.1

4

Linhenykus belonged to a group called alvarezsaurids, which are known for their short, strong arms and big claws.2

5

Scientists think Linhenykus was a subadult when it died, because its bones were not fully fused together.2

6

The hand of Linhenykus shows a mix of primitive and advanced features, meaning its evolution was complex.2
