Illustration of the
Mononykus, wrongly called “Mononychus” in the cover of Time (April 26, 1993) |
Do you know that there is an animal
that lived during the Cretaceous Period that up to now scientists are still in
disagreements whether it is a dinosaur or a bird? This is the Mononykus.
The body of the Mononykus is about a meter in length. It walked on two thin legs at had huge eyes. When it was first discovered, it was initially given the name Mononychus (spelled with a “ch” instead of “k”) in 1993 (SEE cover page). It was, however, immediately changed upon discovery that there was already an animal with such a name, a specie of beetle named by German entomologist Johan Schueppel.
