What is an Anchiornis huxleyi?

Anchiornis huxleyi was a small, feathered dinosaur that lived around 160 million years ago in what is now China. It was about the size of a pigeon, measuring just 34 centimeters (13 inches) long and weighing less than half a kilogram (about 0.25 to 0.4 kg). Anchiornis means “near bird,” and its name honors Thomas Huxley, a scientist who supported the idea that birds came from dinosaurs.

This little dino had long legs, sharp claws, and wings covered in feathers not just on its arms, but also on its legs and tail. Its feathers had real color patterns, including black and white stripes on its wings and a reddish crest, making it one of the first dinosaurs whose true colors we know. Anchiornis probably made chirping sounds and lived in forested areas where it hunted insects and small animals. With its colorful feathers and lightweight body, it could glide between trees, making it a remarkable example of the link between dinosaurs and birds.
