izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Enaliornis is the oldest known hesperornithine bird, living about 100 million years ago.1

The largest species, Enaliornis barretti, was about the size of a large pigeon.1

Scientists are not sure if Enaliornis had teeth like other hesperornithines, because its skull is not well preserved.1

Enaliornis probably had lobed feet for swimming, not webbed feet like ducks.1

It was first named Pelagornis in 1866, but that name was already used for a different bird, so it was changed to Enaliornis in 1876.1 2

Three species of Enaliornis are known: the small E. sedgwicki, the medium E. seeleyi, and the large E. barretti.1

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

Ikwaziwa ngokuba: Pelagornis (amagama amadala ngoku abalwa njengesilwanyana esinye)2
Ukufunyanwa: Enaliornis was named by Harry Govier Seeley in 1876 based on fossils found near Cambridge, England. Seeley had first called it Pelagornis in 1866, but that name was already taken.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists still debate whether Enaliornis had teeth, because the fossil skull pieces are too incomplete to tell.1
