Vayuraptor was a fast, meat-eating dinosaur that ran on two legs. It lived in what is now Thailand during the Early Cretaceous, about 124 million years ago. Scientists think it might have been a megaraptoran, a group of dinosaurs with big claws and long snouts.1 2

Vayuraptor's name comes from Vayu, the Hindu god of wind, because its long, slender shin bone suggests it was a fast runner.1

The first Vayuraptor fossils were found in 1988 by Paladej Srisuk, but the dinosaur wasn't named until 2019.1 2

Scientists know Vayuraptor from a partial skeleton, including a left shin bone with fused ankle bones, which shows it was a mature adult.1

Vayuraptor had a very tall and narrow ankle bone, with a height to width ratio of 1.66, which is unique to this dinosaur.2

Vayuraptor lived alongside other dinosaurs like Phuwiangvenator, Kinnareemimus, and Siamosaurus in the Sao Khua Formation of Thailand.1

The rocks where Vayuraptor was found are about 124 to 121 million years old, from a time called the Barremian age.1 3

Chatschader da mitus

Mitus: Some people think Vayuraptor was a type of bird-like raptor, like Velociraptor.
