趣味知識

Talos is known from a partial skeleton that includes parts of the spine, arms, hips, and legs.1

The fossil of Talos shows a healed injury on one of its foot bones, possibly from a fight or a struggle with prey.1

Talos was a troodontid, a group of dinosaurs known for having big brains and being very bird-like.1

It lived alongside other unique dinosaurs like the horned Utahceratops and the tyrannosaur Teratophoneus.1

Scientists think Talos was about 2 metres long and weighed around 38 kilograms, about as heavy as a large dog.1

The name Talos also sounds like 'talon' because of the big, hooked claw on its second toe.1

發現: Talos was named in 2011 by a team led by Lindsay Zanno. The skeleton was found in the Kaiparowits Formation in Utah, USA, in an area called 'The Blues'.1
仍有爭議: Scientists are not sure exactly how many different kinds of troodontids lived in North America, because their fossils are rare and often incomplete.1
