Gigantoraptor was a huge, bird-like dinosaur that lived in what is now China. It was one of the biggest feathered dinosaurs ever found, even though its closest relatives were much smaller. It had a beak like a parrot and may have eaten both plants and meat.2 1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Gigantoraptor was about 35 times heavier than its close relative Citipati, which was one of the largest oviraptorosaurs known before.1

It grew very fast, reaching young adulthood at around 7 years old and dying at age 11.1

Its leg bones were over 1 meter (3.3 feet) long, which is unusual for such a big theropod.1

Gigantoraptor probably had feathers on its arms for display or to cover its eggs, but its large body may have been mostly bare.1

It built nests with a hole in the middle so its eggs wouldn't get crushed by its own weight.1

Its beak was very deep and U-shaped, helping it eat a wide variety of food, like a generalist.1

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

?How big was Gigantoraptor?

About 8 metres long, 3.5 metres tall at the hips, and weighed 1.4 to 2 metric tons.1

?Did Gigantoraptor have feathers?

Probably yes, at least on its arms for display or covering its eggs, but its large body may have been mostly bare because big animals don't need as much insulation.1

?What did Gigantoraptor eat?

It was an omnivore or herbivore with a shearing beak, eating plants and possibly meat. Its U-shaped beak helped it eat a wide variety of food.1 3

?When did Gigantoraptor live?

It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 96 million years ago.3

?Where was Gigantoraptor found?

In the Iren Dabasu Formation of Inner Mongolia, China.1

?How fast did Gigantoraptor grow?

Very fast. It reached young adulthood at about 7 years old and died at age 11, growing about 128 to 140 kilograms per year.1

?Was Gigantoraptor bigger than T. rex?

No, T. rex was much bigger. Gigantoraptor was about 8 metres long and weighed up to 2 metric tons, while T. rex could be over 12 metres long and weigh over 8 metric tons.1

?Is Gigantoraptor a dinosaur?

Yes, it is a dinosaur. It is an oviraptorosaurian theropod dinosaur.1

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Gigantoraptor was a carnivore like many other big theropods.

Inyaniso: Scientists think it was an omnivore or herbivore, with a beak built for shearing plants and maybe some meat.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Gigantoraptor
Inikwe igama ngu:: Xu et al. 20074
Iqela: Iidayinaso ezingaqhelekanga ezineentsiba
Usapho / iclade: Caenagnathidae4
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Oviraptorosauria4
Ubudala bamatye: 84 ukuya ku-72 izigidi zeminyaka (Campanian)4
Izakhiwo zamatye: Iren Dabasu4
Amazwe: iTshayina4
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database4
Ukufunyanwa: Gigantoraptor was named in 2007 by Xu Xing and his team, based on a partial skeleton found in 2005 in the Erlian Basin of Inner Mongolia, China.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are still debating whether Gigantoraptor had a full coat of feathers or was mostly bare, since it was so much larger than its feathered relatives.1
