Overoraptor was a small, fast meat-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina. It had strong arms and a special claw on its second toe that it used to catch prey. Scientists think it was very bird-like and may help us understand how birds evolved.1

1

Overoraptor's bones have a pattern of light and dark spots, which is why it was named 'piebald thief'.1

2

It had a special 'raptorial' claw on its second toe, like a Velociraptor, which it used to slash at prey.1

3

Overoraptor had very bird-like arms, with a strong ulna and a saddle-shaped joint in its wrist that helped it move its hands like a bird folding its wings.1

4

It lived about 100 to 90 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

5

Overoraptor was a gracile dinosaur, meaning it had a slender, lightweight body built for speed.1

6

Its fossils were found together with crocodile and turtle bones, suggesting it lived near water.1

Overoraptor was named in 2020 by paleontologists Matías Motta, Federico Agnolín, Federico Brissón Egli, and Fernando Novas. The species name chimentoi honors Dr. Roberto Nicolás Chimento, who discovered the fossils in the Huincul Formation of Argentina.1

Scientists are not sure whether Overoraptor could fly or just had bird-like arms for other purposes, like catching prey or display.1
