Paleontologists just dropped a discovery that rewrites the rulebook on ancient predators. Meet Jian changmaensis, a newly identified four-winged dinosaur that ruled the treetops 120 million years ago and likely turned the canopy into a no-fly zone for early birds. According to CNN, this gliding hunter, unearthed in northwestern China’s Changma Basin, is the latest addition to the microraptor family.
Microraptors are feathered dinosaurs that look more like a cross between a bird and a flying squirrel than the terrifying velociraptors from Jurassic Park. The fossil, described in a new study published in Annals of Carnegie Museum, marks the first definitive microraptor specimen found outside northeastern China, expanding both the species’ known range and its timeline. It’s also the youngest microraptor fossil on record, proving these creatures stuck around longer than scientists thought.
