5 fun facts about the Microraptor.



  • The Microraptor means "Small thief". It means "Small thief" because Micro means small and raptor means thief.
  • The Microraptor is as heavy as a can of soup!
  • The Microraptor was one of the few dinosaurs that could glide.
  • Paleontologists have found hundreds of Microraptor fossils and that means it helps paleontologists to learn more about it.
  • The Microraptor could have squawked and maybe hissed because dinosaurs are related to reptiles and some of them hissed, so it makes sense some of the dinos hissed too.

Here is a picture of the size of the Microraptor.

Did you know that scientists don't know yet what the spiny thing on the back of the spinosaurus was for? Yeah that's true, but it does not mean they won't know forever, okay? :) Did you know that the best Spinosaurus skeleton was destroyed during a war so it made it hard for Paleontologists to study this dinosaur?
