Dilong

1. The feathers or proto-feathers differ from those of modern birds in that they do not contain a central shaft.
   
   
2. Dilong was not able to fly or glide. It is therefore thought that the primary function of its feathers must have been for warmth.
   
   
3. Fossilized skin impressions of some other members of the Tyrannosauroid superfamily (althogh none of adult Dilong) have also been found. These skin impressions appear to show the pebbly scales. As a result it is not clear whether Dilong differed from other Tyrannosauroids by having feathers at all, whether feathers were perhaps found only on some parts of Tyrannosauroids' bodies, whether juvenile Tyrannosauroids had feathers and lost they as they grew older and larger, or some of combination of the previous hypotheses is correct.

What this means, is that although Dilong was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Dilong was a Theropod - a member of a group of related bipedal dinosaurs that included the ancestors of birds (although Dilong was not itself an ancestor of birds). Dilong lived about 130 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period. Dilong lived in China. Dilong was a carnivore (meat-eater). Dilong was atleast 5¼ feet (1.6 meters) long, and perhaps as long as 6½ feet (2 meters) or even a little more. Dilong probably weighed about 25 pounds (11 kilograms).
