This feathered dinosaur called Albertaventaor (Albertaventaor). The name of the dinosaur was given from the province of Alberta, in which his remains were found. Writes "Popular Mechanics".
After the analysis, the scientists found out that the dinosaur wore a feather cover, walked on two paws. Its growth reached about two meters, and weight 60 kg. Paleontologists suggest that Albertaventor ate mixed, that is, plants and meat.
"The bones of these little feathered dinosaurs are very rare. We were fortunate that we were able to find an important part of the skull that helped us identify Albertaventaor as a new species, "says lead researcher Professor David Evans of the Royal Ontario Museum.
