Newly discovered ‘rainbow’ dinosaur had shiny, colourful feathers like a hummingbird
A duck-sized dinosaur found in China had a head and chest covered in shiny feathers similar to those seen on hummingbirds. The creature has been named Caihong juji, meaning “rainbow with the big crest” in Mandarin.
It’s first discovered by a farmer in north-eastern China, they found evidence of brightly-coloured plumage.
Iridescent feathers, which are found on some modern bird species, have a metallic sheen and change colour when viewed from different angles, giving them a “rainbow-like” appearance.
Iridescent feathers were found covering the dinosaur’s head and chest, as well as around the base of its tail.
The skull of the Caihong is similar to that of the Velociraptor, but it also has a bony crest in the middle of its head.
New discover will take new thinks to our world, and beautiful things will always be discover sooner re latter. Hope your life always be colorful like rainbow!
