Microraptor Facts

Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Microraptor: Microraptor was a genus of dinosaur. "Microraptor" means "small thief". Microraptor was a member of the Saurischia ("lizard-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Microraptor was not closely related to lizards, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones. Microraptor was a Theropod - a member of a group of related bipedal dinosaurs that included the ancestors of birds (although Microraptor was not itself an ancestor of birds). Microraptor lived about 120 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period. Microraptor lived in Northeast China. Microraptor was a carnivore (meat-eater). Microraptor was about 1½ to 2¾ feet (46 to 84 centimeters) long. Microraptor weighed up to 2¼ pounds (1 kilogram).

About the size of a raven, it had large feathers on its arms and legs. Despite its bird-like appearance, Microraptor also had several features typical of dinosaurs, including rows of sharp teeth, claws on its hands, and a long, bony tail. CLIMBING AND GLIDING: This dinosaur may have used its sharp claws to scramble up the trunks of trees, and then leaped from the canopy, gliding from tree to tree. Microraptor lived in a forested wetland ecosystem known as the Jehol. The Jehol ecosystem was very rich and Microraptor was an opportunistic hunter, feeding on a diverse range of prey such as insects, lizards, and fish.
