New fish-eating raptor fossil in Argentina reveals prehistoric links to China

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Paleontologists have discovered a new species of fish-eating raptor, named Kank australis, in Argentina. The fossilized remains of this raptor, unearthed in Patagonia, exhibit remarkable similarities in their claws to those of velociraptors found on the other side of the world. This finding, published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, suggests a broader evolutionary range for these ancient creatures than previously understood, prompting scientists to reconsider their migratory patterns and evolutionary links.

    Discovery of fish-eating raptor in Argentina points to prehistoric links with China

    Scientists have uncovered a new species of raptor in Argentina that sports the same telltale curved claw as the velociraptors found in China, some 19,000km (11,800 miles) away. Though they were found on opposite ends of the world, these two dinosaurs were close kin – tracing back…
