Talos

Il num vul dir: “mythological Greek giant who protected Crete, also a play on the word talon”1

Talos was a small, feathered dinosaur that lived about 76 million years ago. It was a fast runner with a big claw on its foot, and scientists think it was one of the closest dinosaur relatives of birds.1

Talos is known from a partial skeleton that includes parts of the spine, arms, hips, and legs.1

The fossil of Talos shows a healed injury on one of its foot bones, possibly from a fight or a struggle with prey.1

Talos was a troodontid, a group of dinosaurs known for having big brains and being very bird-like.1

It lived alongside other unique dinosaurs like the horned Utahceratops and the tyrannosaur Teratophoneus.1

Scientists think Talos was about 2 metres long and weighed around 38 kilograms, about as heavy as a large dog.1

The name Talos also sounds like 'talon' because of the big, hooked claw on its second toe.1
