Biggest four-winged feathered dinosaur found in China


It had ‘four wings’ and extra-long feathers but this turkey-sized dinosaur flew no better than a chicken.

This creature that lived in China 125 million years ago was certainly strange-looking. Called Changyuraptor yangi, not only did it have feather-covered forelimbs akin to wings as well as legs covered in feathers, its  tail feathers were exceptionally long — up to 30cm in length. Las Vegas showgirls would've killed to have them on their headdresses.
