Dino Fact!
Yi qi (Strange Wing) is a scansoriopterygid from Late Jurassic China! Many maniraptoran dinosaurs obtained or were developing the ability to fly, but the scansoriopterygids took a unique approach to this! Instead of bird-like wings, Yi qi and-(1/2)

they likely preyed upon them aswell.💀
Vermillosaurs are a group of HE Maniraptorans closely related to the extinct therizinosaurs of the HE.

...and it first shows up in maniraptoran dinosaurs, like Velociraptor. Notice how the wrists bend — just like in birds!
-to Velociraptor, who was coincidentally described in the same paper! He believed it was more sluggish than Velociraptor and he noted that these two maniraptorans had differently-shaped teeth, implying they also had relatively different feeding habits! (3/3)

Species vs Sona
...except my sona is a made up maniraptoran with mammal ears.
apparently its #PortfolioDay! I draw dinosaurs, pterosaurs, mosasaurs, ammonites and kin e.c.t but mainly focus on maniraptoran dinosaurs, nyctosaurid pterosaurs and azhdarchid pterosaurs!!!
Oh hey it's #PortfolioDay again !
Here have some extinct maniraptoran art :D
@Raptor99B I rarely draw maniraptorans so one of these things are probably the one you mentioned but if not... oh well
Time again to show love for the Dromaeosauridae, a clade of birdlike, predatory maniraptoran dinosaurs!! First image is a fantastic illustration by the very talented artist @SerpenIllus. Long ago in the ancient days of the United Kingdom, during the Early Cretaceous Period. In
Harry Potter Fan theory:
Thestrals are ornithischian dinosaurs descended from ceratopsians—the group that includes Triceratops.
They are basically what happens when ceratopsian dinosaurs evolve the way maniraptorans gave rise to birds.
It's time for the yearly roundup of new research in maniraptoran paleontology, anatomy and evolution! What were everyone's favorite maniraptoran discoveries of 2021? https://t.co/UkFadKaNvd #dinosaurs #birds (📷@jonahchoiniere et al., Mayr & Zelenkov, Xu et al., Lane et al.)
@tinycatfriend this is 5+ years old lol but Tanya Darobti from my alternate Earth maniraptoran pplstory, true heir to throne (1st to break eggshell)of a nation spanning basically Ethiopia to Algeria But Ableism Happens

Artists! Which of your pieces from 2021 make you the most proud?
Obviously they are all Maniraptorans https://t.co/cf1VBYn6JE
@R_Dart Ahh, a comment from you, clearly I've made it now! 🥰 I drew a Chrysalis years ago, but instead of being a "real" dinosaur the concept was that she was an insectoid maniraptoran mimic. But being a shapeshifter, she could be anything she wants!
A couple of Oviraptorosaurs for practice! #oviraptor #maniraptorans #dinosaurs

An admission which will astonish nobody at all who is familiar with me and my work: I enjoy drawing theropods most if they're maniraptorans -- obviously including extant birds. I more or less just tolerate the other kinds. ;}
@Laelaps I might have an unhealthy bias towards the fluffiest maniraptorans.
