Albinykus was a tiny, feathered dinosaur that lived in the Gobi Desert. It was one of the smallest dinosaurs ever, weighing less than a bag of sugar. It probably ran around on its two legs, hunting for insects and other small prey.1 4

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Albinykus was one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs, weighing less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).1 2

Its leg bones were fused together in a way not seen in other alvarezsaurids. The ankle bones were completely joined to the shin bone and foot bones.1 2

The only skeleton found was in a sitting position, with its feet tucked under its body. This is like how birds sleep or rest.1 2

Albinykus is the first alvarezsaurid found in a crouching posture. This shows it was closely related to birds.1 2

Alvarezsaurids got smaller over time, and Albinykus was one of the smallest and most evolved of the group.1 2

The skeleton was found in the eastern Gobi Desert, at a place called Khugenetslavkant. It was the first articulated theropod skeleton found there.2

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Albinykus — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Albinykus 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: Albinykus

?How big was Albinykus?

Albinykus was one of the smallest non-avian dinosaurs, weighing less than 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds).1 2

?What did Albinykus eat?

Scientists think Albinykus ate insects, like ants, because its small teeth and strong claw resemble ant-eating mammals. But no direct proof has been found yet.3

?Did Albinykus have feathers?

Yes, Albinykus was a feathered dinosaur. It belonged to a group of dinosaurs closely related to birds.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Some people think Albinykus was a bird because it sat like one.

Inyaniso: Albinykus was a dinosaur, not a bird. But it was closely related to birds, and its sitting posture is similar to how birds rest.1 2

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Albinykus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Nesbitt et al. 20114
Iqela: Iidayinaso ezingaqhelekanga ezineentsiba
Usapho / iclade: Alvarezsauridae4
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Alvarezsauridae4
Ubudala bamatye: 86 ukuya ku-72 izigidi zeminyaka (Santonian / Campanian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Javkhlant4
Amazwe: iMongolia4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Albinykus was named by scientists Sterling Nesbitt, Julia Clarke, Alan Turner, and Mark Norell in 2011. The skeleton was found by a joint Mongolian Academy of Sciences and American Museum of Natural History expedition in 2004.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure how Albinykus died while in its sitting position. It might have been buried by sand, but no one knows for sure.1
