酷東西

趣味知識

Wulatelong had a toothless, parrot-like beak, which is unusual for a theropod dinosaur.1

It is known from a nearly complete skeleton, which is rare for oviraptorid dinosaurs.1

Wulatelong lived alongside famous dinosaurs like Velociraptor and Protoceratops.1

Its name comes from the Wulate area in China, where it was found, and 'long' means dragon in Chinese.1

Scientists think Wulatelong was a basal oviraptorid, meaning it was one of the earlier members of its group.1 2

The fossils were found in rocks that are between 83 and 72 million years old, from the Campanian stage.1 5

迷思破解王

迷思： Some people think Wulatelong was a bird because it had feathers and a beak.

真相： Wulatelong was a dinosaur, not a bird, even though it was bird-like and related to birds.1
