1

Zapsalis is known only from its teeth, not from any other bones. Scientists call it a 'tooth taxon'.1

2

The name Zapsalis means 'thorough scissors' in Greek, because its teeth look like sharp scissors.1

3

Zapsalis lived between about 85 and 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous.2

4

Its teeth have rounded denticles (little bumps) and vertical grooves, which help scientists tell them apart from other raptor teeth.1

5

Some scientists think Zapsalis teeth might have been used for preening feathers, like some other raptors.1

6

Zapsalis was named by famous fossil hunter Edward Drinker Cope in 1876, during the 'Bone Wars' with his rival Othniel Charles Marsh.1

Zapsalis was a meat-eater. Its sharp, scissor-like teeth were perfect for slicing through flesh.12

?Is Zapsalis a dinosaur?

Yes, Zapsalis is a dinosaur. It is a type of dromaeosaurid theropod, which is a group of small, fast, meat-eating dinosaurs.12

Mubvisi wengano

Zapsalis was named by American paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1876, based on a single tooth from the Judith River Formation in Montana, USA.1

Scientists still debate whether Zapsalis is a valid genus or just the teeth of another raptor like Saurornitholestes.1
