Fukuivenator, Japan's best preserved dinosaur

Adam Khor · 2016-02-27 23:56:05

Until now, all Japanese dinosaurs had been found as very fragmentary remains; Fukuivenator is known from a relatively complete skeleton. Even though it looks a lot like a dromeosaur, it seemingly belongs to another linneage, and its teeth suggest it may have been omnivorous: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep20478
