Megapnosaurus is a coelophysid theropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period of Africa. It was a lightly built bipedal carnivore that grew to just over 2 m long and 13 kg in body mass. Its close relation to Coelophysis has caused some confusion in classifying the genus - it had a slender build and curved S-shaped neck, but was more robust. Comparisons between the scleral rings of Megapnosaurus and modern birds and reptiles indicate that it may have been nocturnal.

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.

Coelophysis bauri (Cope, 1887) theropod dinosaur from the Triassic of New Mexico, USA.
This is a remarkable complete skeleton of the small early theropod Coelophysis.  It comes from a nearly monospecific concentration of numerous complete to disarticulated skeletons in reddish-colored fluvial siltstones, often called a "Coelophysis graveyard".  This occurrence has been interpreted as a carcass-jammed channel filling following mass mortality of dinosaurs by regional drought (see Schwartz & Gillette, 1994).
Stratigraphy: Rock Point Member, Chinle Formation, Upper Triassic
Locality: Whitaker Quarry (Coelophysis Quarry), Ghost Ranch, Rio Arriba County, northern New Mexico, USA

Theropod were small to large, bipedal dinosaurs.  Almost all known members of the group were carnivorous (predators and/or scavengers).  They represent the ancestral group to the birds, and some theropods are known to have had feathers.  Some of the most well known dinosaurs to the general public are theropods, such as Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Baminornis is the oldest known bird with a fused pygostyle, a skeletal feature that implies tail feathers. Its discovery pushed back current understanding of bird evolution and global distribution by 20 million years. Baminornis was about 15 cm in length, had many features in common with modern birds, including the capability for powered flight.

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.

The "dromaeo-avemorphs", as they are informally known (Paul, 2002), represent a group of early paravian theropods with asymmetrical feathers and an Archaeopteryx-like body. According to Hartman et al. (2019), the animals shown in this image might, together, form a clade (monophyletic group) without modern birds.

Selon une nouvelle étude biomécanique publiée dans la revue Developmental Biology, l'archéoptéryx - le tout premier oiseau à habiter la Terre - aurait pu sauter dans les airs, plutôt que de se lancer avec le seul et puissant saut utilisé par les oiseaux modernes. L'article Archaeopteryx a décollé avec une série de houblons, pas un grand saut : étude est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

Des gravures sur coquilles d'œufs d'autruche vieilles de 60 000 ans révèlent un esprit humain étonnamment sophistiqué
comportement oiseau Homo sapiens
Il y a plus de 60 000 ans, les humains d’Afrique australe gravaient des coquilles d’œufs d’autruche avec des motifs géométriques complexes qui semblent beaucoup plus organisés qu’on ne le pensait auparavant. Les chercheurs ont découvert des grilles récurrentes, des lignes parallèles, des angles droits et des formes répétées, suggérant que les conceptions suivaient des règles délibérées plutôt que d’être improvisées. Les graveurs peuvent même avoir planifié des motifs entiers dans leur esprit avant de les sculpter.

oiseau tomographie découverte crâne
Les tomodensitogrammes des crânes de dodo les plus rares au monde suggèrent que l'oiseau disparu aurait pu avoir un odorat plus fort, un bec très sensible et un mode de vie qui s'étendait jusqu'à l'aube et au crépuscule. Ces découvertes contribuent à renverser des mythes vieux de plusieurs siècles et à révéler un animal bien plus complexe que le fameux dodo « stupide » de l’imagination populaire.
