Baby albino changyuraptor spooked by her own reflection, realizing that she's not like her other siblings.

In person, the feathers have more colours to show the iridescence, but alas, my camera does not pick up on them.

Wulong bohaiensis, a newly described microraptorine dinosaur whose name translates from Chinese into “dancing dragon,” referencing the pose of the exquisitely preserved holotype.

The Wulong specimen was determined to have been a juvenile, which implies drastically different growth and maturation rates for dinosaurs than for their avian descendants. The juvenile Wulong had more or less mature feathers rather than the down or not-quite-flight feathers characteristic of adolescent birds.

We do not know the coloration of Wulong, but I decided to model it off its close relative, the shiny, crow-sized Microraptor. This was my first time experimenting with iridescence and I’m not quite sure how I did.

Daily Dinosaur Facts: Day 4

Sinornithosaurus was originally thought to be venomous, but, what was first thought to be a venom sac, turned out to be a tooth ready to replace an old/worn one.
