An article published in the journal “Nature” reports the identification of a new species of dinosaur that lived around 163 million years ago, in the Late Jurassic period, which had some characteristics similar to those of birds but with wings more similar to those of pterosaurs or bats. A team of researchers coordinated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences named it Ambopteryx longibrachium and classified it in the family of scansoriopterygid, which could be close relatives of birds. This little dinosaur could provide important information about the development of flight among dinosaurs and therefore in birds.
