Igama lithetha: “Var thief”1

Yayitya: InyamaIiraptaiCretaceous yamva

Variraptor was a small, fast meat-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now France. It was a dromaeosaur, a cousin of Velociraptor, and probably hunted with sharp claws on its feet and hands.1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Variraptor was named after the Var River in southern France, plus the Latin word for thief.1

Its fossils were discovered by amateur paleontologists Patrick Méchin and Annie Méchin-Salessy between 1992 and 1995.1

The type specimens include a back vertebra, a sacrum (fused hip vertebrae), and a hip bone (ilium).1

Some scientists think Variraptor might be a chimaera, meaning its fossils could belong to more than one kind of dinosaur.1

A right upper arm bone (humerus) has a large deltopectoral crest, which suggests strong arm muscles for grabbing prey.1

Variraptor lived about 70 million years ago, during the Campanian and Maastrichtian stages of the Late Cretaceous.1

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

Inyaniso ngeentsomi

Intsomi: Variraptor is definitely a valid dinosaur species.

Inyaniso: Many scientists consider Variraptor a nomen dubium (doubtful name) because its incomplete fossils may not be unique enough to tell it apart from other dinosaurs.1
