🚨NEW RESEARCH: A study published in @ScienceMagazine—led in part by Museum researchers @Kimi_Chap & @JonahChoiniere—suggests a tiny desert-living dino Shuvuuia had extraordinary vision & owl-like hearing for nocturnal hunting in the Mongolian desert: https://t.co/fTJ3BOArBO

Microraptor gui was the first dino ever found with asymmetrical feathers on its back legs. Here’s why that’s a big deal: Asymmetrical feathers are adapted specifically for moving through the air! But it likely glided, rather than flying far under its own power.
