- Wulong bohaiensis, a small feathered dinosaur dubbed the “dancing dragon,” was found in China’s Jehol Province and measures about the size of a raven.
- It featured a long bony tail with feather plumes, lightweight bones, and wing-like forelimbs similar to birds.
- Bone histology indicated the juvenile dinosaur developed mature feathers rapidly, contrasting with modern birds’ feather growth patterns.
- Jehol’s fossil-rich environment provides a snapshot of diverse ancient life, including early birds, pterosaurs, and flowering plants.
The new dinosaur fits in with an incredible [range] of feathered, winged animals that are closely related to the origin of birds.— Ashley Poust, study’s author
