趣味知識

Sinosauropteryx was the first feathered dinosaur discovered that was not directly related to birds.1

Scientists used Sinosauropteryx to figure out a dinosaur's color pattern for the first time ever.1

A fossil of Sinosauropteryx has a tiny lizard preserved in its stomach, showing what it ate for its last meal.1

Sinosauropteryx had over 50 very long tail bones, which made up about 60% of its body length.2

Its feathers were short and simple, like down feathers, not like the flight feathers of modern birds.2

Sinosauropteryx could not fly, but it could run fast on two legs, like an ostrich.2

One of the small mammals Sinosauropteryx ate, called Zhangheotherium, may have been venomous, with spurs on its ankles like a platypus.1
