izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

Xixianykus belonged to a group called alvarezsaurids, which were small dinosaurs with strong arms and long legs.1

Its fossils were found in the Majiacun Formation in Xixia County, Henan Province, China.1

Xixianykus lived about 89 to 83 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.2

This dinosaur had special bones in its hips and legs that helped it run very fast.1

Xixianykus is one of the earliest known members of the Parvicursorinae group, which were extreme runners.1

The name Xixianykus means 'Xixia claw', because its fossils were found in Xixia County and it had sharp claws.1

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

?How big was Xixianykus?

Xixianykus was very small, only about 50 centimetres long and 20 centimetres tall. It weighed around 0.74 kilograms, making it one of the smallest known non-bird dinosaurs.3 4

?How fast could Xixianykus run?

Scientists think Xixianykus was extremely fast because it had very long legs compared to its body, with special foot bones that helped it run. It was built like a tiny roadrunner and could sprint quickly to escape predators.3 4

?Did Xixianykus eat meat?

Xixianykus likely ate colonial insects, such as termites. It had a long, tubular snout and strong arms with a large claw to tear open logs and nests.3 4

Kwiingcali zeedayinaso

Igama lenzululwazi: Xixianykus
Inikwe igama ngu:: Xu et al. 20105
Iqela: Iidayinaso ezingaqhelekanga ezineentsiba
Usapho / iclade: Alvarezsauridae5
Ukuhlelwa: Theropoda > Alvarezsauridae5
Ubudala bamatye: 90 ukuya ku-84 izigidi zeminyaka (Coniacian / Santonian)5
Izakhiwo zamatye: Majiacun5
Amazwe: iTshayina5
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database5
Ukufunyanwa: Xixianykus was named in 2010 by Xu and colleagues based on a partial skeleton found in the Majiacun Formation of Henan Province, China.1 2
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: Scientists are not sure exactly what Xixianykus ate, but its sharp claws and small size suggest it hunted small prey.2
