Longipteryx was a tiny bird that lived about 120 million years ago in what is now China. It had long, strong wings and a very long snout with hooked teeth at the tip. This little bird was a great flyer and could perch on branches like modern birds.12

Dintlha tse di monate

1

Longipteryx had a very long snout that was longer than the rest of its head, with a few hooked teeth at the tip.1

2

Its wings were much longer than its legs, with the upper arm bone (humerus) being 1.56 times the length of the thigh bone (femur).1

3

Unlike most other early birds, Longipteryx had uncinate processes on its ribs, which helped strengthen its ribcage and improve breathing.12

4

Its feet were built for perching, with all four toe bones (metatarsals) ending at nearly the same level, just like modern perching birds.2

5

Scientists once thought Longipteryx ate fish or insects, but in 2024 a study found it actually ate seeds and fruits.1

6

Longipteryx had a big breastbone with a well-developed keel, which gave it powerful flight muscles.2

?How big was Longipteryx?

Longipteryx was very small, with a wingspan of about 46.3 cm (1.52 ft) and a body mass of about 193 g (6.8 oz).1

?What did Longipteryx eat?

Longipteryx ate fish. A 2024 study found fish remains in its stomach, showing it was a piscivore.13

?Did Longipteryx have feathers?

Yes, Longipteryx had feathers. The holotype preserves body feathers, wing coverts and down, but no long tail feathers.1

?Could Longipteryx fly?

Yes, Longipteryx was a good flyer. It had long, strong wings and a well-developed breastbone with a keel for powerful flight muscles.1

Mothubi wa ditlhamane

Tlhamane: Longipteryx was a fish-eater because of its long snout and teeth.

Boammaaruri: Scientists now know from fossil evidence that Longipteryx ate seeds and fruits, not fish.1
