Aurornis
Aurornis was a small, feathered dinosaur that lived about 160 million years ago. It is one of the earliest known relatives of birds, even older than Archaeopteryx. Aurornis had long legs and a long tail, and it probably used its feathers for display or gliding.21

Aurornis is the oldest known avialan, the group that includes birds and their closest dinosaur relatives.2
The only fossil of Aurornis is a complete skeleton with traces of fluffy, down-like feathers around the neck and chest.1
Aurornis lived during the Middle to Late Jurassic period, about 168 to 152 million years ago.3
Its name means 'dawn bird' because it lived near the beginning of bird evolution.1
Aurornis was about 51 centimeters (20 inches) long, about the size of a modern chicken.1
Scientists think Aurornis could not fly using its forelimbs like modern birds, but it may have glided or used its feathers for balance.2

- Scientists debate whether Aurornis could fly or just glide, because its feathers were simple and not suited for powered flight.2
