New parrot-like dinosaur’s fossils found in Gobi desert

A research team from the University of Edinburgh discovered a new dinosaur species, Oxoco Averson, in the Gobi Desert. This species, part of the over Raptors branch, lived around 68 million years ago and had unique features like feathers and two finger-like digits. The discovery provides insights into the evolutionary changes in over Raptors, particularly the reduction in digits. The well-preserved skeletons suggest that juvenile Aversons roamed in groups, offering a rare glimpse into their social behavior.
