When the first fossils of Velociraptor were found in
TOOTHED EAGLE Mongolia in the 1920s, it was imagined as a scaly,
lizardlike animal. But fossils of a closely related dinosaur discovered in nearby China show that
Velociraptor would have looked more like a bird. A row of bumps on one of its forearm bones also
shows that its arms carried long feathers very like those of a bird’s wing.
