Zhongornis was a tiny, feathered dinosaur that lived about 125 million years ago in what is now China. It had a beak with no teeth and a short tail, making it look a bit like a bird. It is special because it helps show how some dinosaurs evolved into birds.12

Dintlha tse monate

1

Zhongornis had a beak with no teeth, unlike many other early birds.1

2

Its tail had only 13 vertebrae, much fewer than the 22 in Archaeopteryx, a more primitive bird-like dinosaur.1

3

The third finger of Zhongornis had only two bones, which is more like advanced birds than like earlier dinosaurs.1

4

Zhongornis is the only fossil found that seems to be intermediate between long-tailed birds like Archaeopteryx and short-tailed birds like Confuciusornis.1

5

The only known specimen was a juvenile, but it had already grown feathers on its hand and tail.1

?How big was Zhongornis?

It was tiny, about 8 centimeters long (roughly 3 inches).1

?Did Zhongornis have feathers?

Yes, it had feathers on its hand and tail, as shown by impressions on the fossil.1

?What did Zhongornis eat?

It was a meat-eating dinosaur, but its beak had no teeth, so it probably ate small prey or insects.1

?Is Zhongornis a bird?

Scientists disagree. Some say it is a primitive bird, while others think it is a close relative of the Scansoriopterygidae, a group of non-bird dinosaurs.13

Mosenyi wa ditshomo

Tshomo: Zhongornis was a true bird.

Nnete: Zhongornis was a dinosaur, not a bird. It is a primitive member of the group that includes birds, but it is not a bird itself.1

Zhongornis was named by Gao et al. in 2008. The only specimen was donated to the Dalian Natural History Museum in China by a woman named Ms. Hao, and the species is named after her.12
E sa ntse e phehwa kgang
Scientists are still debating whether Zhongornis is more closely related to birds with short tails or to those with long tails, because it has features of both.1
