酷東西

趣味知識

Khaan is known from three nearly complete skeletons, including skulls, which is very rare for dinosaurs.1

It belonged to a group called oviraptorosaurs, which had short, toothless beaks like parrots.2

Khaan lived about 81 to 75 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

Its fossils were found in the Djadokhta Formation of Mongolia, a famous area for dinosaur discoveries.5

Khaan had a very light, air-filled skull, similar to modern birds, which helped reduce its weight.2

Unlike some of its relatives, Khaan did not have a crest on its head.2
