How can they be discovering this big bird by now? Are they trying to say that no one had ever saw this bird before? The right tittle would have being '' the big bird in china finally has a name''.

Ludicrous!! Adonbilivit, never believed it even from primary school.

yuzjet: A team of paleontologists from China, the
United States and South Africa has described a new species of a feathered dinosaur that lived in what is now northeastern China during the Cretaceous period, about 125 million years ago.

The new dinosaur, named Changyuraptor
yangi
, belongs to Microraptoria – a specific group of predatory four-winged raptorial dinosaurs. These dinosaurs are dubbed ‘four-winged’ because the long feathers attached to the legs have the appearance of a second set of wings. The long feathers attached to the legs and arms of these creatures have led some scientists to propose that the four-winged dinosaurs were capable of flying.

At 1.3-meter-long, Changyuraptor yangi is
the biggest of all four-winged dinosaurs.
Its well-preserved fossil was unearthed in
the Liaoning Province of northeastern
China. According to a paper published in the
journal Nature Communications, Changyuraptor yangi sported a full set of
feathers cloaking its entire body, including
the extra-long tail feathers. “At a foot in length, the amazing tail feathers of Changyuraptor yangi are by far the longest of any feathered dinosaurs, " said Co-author Dr Luiz Chiappe From the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.

The paleontologists believe that the discovery consolidates the notion that flight preceded the origin of birds, being inherited by the latter from their dinosaurian forerunners.

Co-author Dr Alan Turner of Stony Brook
University said: “numerous features that we
have long associated with birds in fact evolved in dinosaurs long before the first
birds arrived on the scene. This includes
things such as hollow bones, nesting behavior, feathers and possibly flight.” “How well these creatures used the sky as a thoroughfare has remained controversial.

The new discovery explains the role that the
tail feathers played during flight control. For
larger flyers, safe landings are of particular
importance.” “It makes sense that the largest
microraptorines had especially large tail
feathers – they would have needed the
additional control,” explained co-author Dr
Michael Habib from the University of
Southern California.

Some will believe that the newly discovered Dinosaur can be a sign of end time. While, Science wil just conclude that its an evolution in the part of the Dinosaurs Cycle. (My opinion though)

Your thought?

lrguru: if humans really evolved from apes, why then are all apes not yet humans, crappy sh1t

we evolved from sea creature to land to ape and humans.. there is still fishes and ape, becos some chose to evolve others decide to remain ape and fish. Also there are Mermaids in the sea who evolved from humans becos they were trapped under the sea and didnt drown so they developed gills.. Mermaids are real, i won't be suprised there are cities of them on the water as we have only explored 10% of the ocean..pls google it too. Evolution is a beta story than adam and eve. grin at least science says maybe, bible say we came from adam and eve as if they are sure

Nigeria needs a science initiative. Someone was saying in another thread that lightning strikes cannot be predicted, and they come from God.

I love dinasaur stories... grin Kudos to the discovery team they tried. The white are improving in innovation and creativity unfolding new events (though some could be insane undecided ) while our selfish and evil rulers here keep increasing school fees thus makes life so hard like a rock for the citizenry..

Bros, no hope o, at least not in this generation. Our government have successfully crippled our educational system to unproductive but just a glorified primary school. So seeing/hearing things like this seems unrealistic to us. cry
