Wulong

Igama lithetha: “dancing dragon”1

Yayitya: InyamaIiraptaiCretaceous yokuqala

Wulong was a tiny, feathered dinosaur that lived about 120 million years ago in what is now China. It had long tail feathers and looked a bit like a bird, but it was actually a fierce little hunter related to Velociraptor.1

izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Wulong was only about 1 year old when it died, and it was still growing.1

It had two very long tail feathers that were more than 12 centimeters (about 5 inches) long, probably used for display.2

Wulong had feathers on its arms, legs, and tail, including fluffy down feathers and stiff flight feathers.1

Its skeleton was found lying in a natural pose, with all bones still connected.2

Wulong had more than 29 bones in its tail, which helped make it a good runner and jumper.2

Scientists studied the inside of Wulong's leg bones to figure out its age, the first time this was done for a microraptorine dinosaur.1

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Wulong — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Wulong 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: Some people think all dinosaurs with feathers could fly like birds.

Inyaniso: Wulong had feathers but could not fly. It used its feathers for warmth, display, and maybe gliding short distances.1

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Wulong
Inikwe igama ngu:: Poust et al. 20203
Iqela: Iirapta
Usapho / iclade: Dromaeosauridae3
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Dromaeosauridae3
Ubudala bamatye: 121 ukuya ku-113 izigidi zeminyaka (Aptian)3
Izakhiwo zamatye: Jiufotang3
Amazwe: iTshayina3
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database3
Ukufunyanwa: Wulong was named in 2020 by Ashley Poust and colleagues. The only known fossil was found in the Jiufotang Formation in Liaoning, China.3 1
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly how big a fully grown Wulong would have been, because the only specimen found so far is a juvenile.1
