Yayitya: IzinambuzaneIidayinaso ezingaqhelekanga ezineentsibaiCretaceous yamva

Albertonykus was a tiny dinosaur that used its strong, short arms to dig into insect nests for food. It was one of the smallest meat-eating dinosaurs ever found in North America, about as long as a big cat.2 3

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Albertonykus is the smallest alvarezsaur ever found in North America, measuring only 1.1 metres (3.6 feet) long.2

Its arms were very short but extremely strong, with a huge claw on the thumb for digging.3

Scientists think Albertonykus ate wood-nesting termites because fossil wood from its time contains termite-like tunnels.3

It lived about 72 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

Albertonykus had long, slender legs and could probably run fast to escape predators.3

Its fossils were found in the same bonebed as the giant predator Albertosaurus.3

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Albertonykus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Albertonykus esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

ubuzile

Eyona mibuzo ibuzwa kakhulu: Albertonykus

?How big was Albertonykus?

Albertonykus was about 1.1 metres (3.6 feet) long and weighed around 5 kilograms (11 pounds), making it the smallest alvarezsaur ever found in North America.2

?What did Albertonykus eat?

Scientists think Albertonykus ate wood-nesting termites. It used its strong thumb claw to tear open rotten logs and dig into insect nests.2 3

?When did Albertonykus live?

Albertonykus lived about 68.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

?Is Albertonykus a dinosaur?

Yes, Albertonykus is a dinosaur. It is a type of theropod called an alvarezsaurid.2

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think Albertonykus used its claws to dig burrows like a mole.

Inyaniso: Its arms were too short and its legs too long for burrowing. Instead, it used its claws to tear open insect nests.3

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Albertonykus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Longrich and Currie 20094
Iqela: Iidayinaso ezingaqhelekanga ezineentsiba
Usapho / iclade: Alvarezsauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Alvarezsauridae4
Ubudala bamatye: 72 ukuya ku-66 izigidi zeminyaka (Maastrichtian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Horseshoe Canyon, Hell Creek4
Amazwe: iKhanada, iUSA4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 2 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Albertonykus was named in 2009 by Nicholas Longrich and Philip Currie based on fossils from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation in Alberta, Canada.1 3
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure if Albertonykus was more closely related to Asian alvarezsaurs like Mononykus or to South American ones.3
