Overoraptor
Overoraptor was a small, fast meat-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina. It had strong arms and a special claw on its second toe that it used to catch prey. Scientists think it was very bird-like and may help us understand how birds evolved.1

Dintlha tse di monate
Overoraptor's bones have a pattern of light and dark spots, which is why it was named 'piebald thief'.1
It had a special 'raptorial' claw on its second toe, like a Velociraptor, which it used to slash at prey.1
Overoraptor had very bird-like arms, with a strong ulna and a saddle-shaped joint in its wrist that helped it move its hands like a bird folding its wings.1
It lived about 100 to 90 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2
Overoraptor was a gracile dinosaur, meaning it had a slender, lightweight body built for speed.1
Its fossils were found together with crocodile and turtle bones, suggesting it lived near water.1

?When did Overoraptor live?
Overoraptor lived during the Cretaceous Period, about 100 to 90 million years ago. Its fossils come from the Huincul Formation in Argentina.3
?What did Overoraptor eat?
Overoraptor was a meat-eating dinosaur. It had a sharp claw on its second toe and bird-like arms, which it likely used to catch small prey.3
