$\"Golden$ \nGolden-tailed Sapphire\nActual size: 3.75 inches\nThis hummingbird lives in the northwest part of South America and is commonly seen near forest edges.

$\"Kihansi$ \nKihansi Spray Toad\nActual size: up to 1 inch\nThe Kihansi spray toad was the first amphibian to be declared Extinct in the Wild and successfully reintroduced thanks to the efforts of the Bronx and Toledo Zoos.

$\"Manus$ \nManus Green Tree Snail\nActual size: 1.5 inches\nThese snails are found only on Manus Island, which is just 60 miles long. They are also known as emerald green snails.

$\"Madagascan$ \nMadagascan Sunset Moth\nActual size: 3 inches\nThe Madagascan sunset moth lives only on the island of Madagascar and is active during the day.

$\"Mimic$ \nMimic Poison Frog\nActual size: .75 inch\nMimic poison frogs get their name because this species has several morphs, or color patterns, which look like other poison frog species.

$\"Morpho$ \nMorpho Butterfly\nActual size: 3 inches\nThe blue wings of morpho butterflies don’t contain any blue pigments. Their wings are covered with tiny, ridged scales that reflect blue light, making them look blue!

$\"Panamanian$ \nPanamanian Golden Frog\nActual size: about 2 inches\nPanamanian golden frogs are classified as Extinct in the Wild due to chytrid fungus. Fortunately, zoo populations are robust, and we hope to return them to the wild once the chytrid fungus can be eliminated from their native habitat.

$\"Pygmy$ \nPygmy Wisp\nActual size: .8 inch\nThe pygmy wisp is a type of damselfly. Males have green heads, while females can have green or red heads.

$\"Red-banded$ \nRed-banded Poison Frog\nActual size: 1.25 inches\nPoison frogs get their toxins from the insects they eat. We work to protect the Critically Endangered red-banded poison frog in its native habitat in western Colombia.

$\"Regal$ \nRegal Sunbird\nActual size: 4.75 inches\nThe regal sunbird is native to the forests of the Albertine Rift in Africa, including Nyungwe forest in Rwanda, which we have been protecting since 1987.

$\"Scarlet$ \nScarlet Dwarf\nActual size: .6 inch\nThe scarlet dwarf is the world’s smallest dragonfly, with a wingspan of less than an inch.

The Italian Fountain, also known as the Rockefeller Fountain, is carved from light-colored limestone and granite. It was designed of sculptor Biagio Catella in Como, Italy, in 1872. After less than 20 years on site in the Piazza Cavour, the fountain was dismantled and put into storage in the Como City Hall. Many years later, in 1902, William Rockefeller bought the fountain and gave it to the Bronx Zoo. Laying the groundwork for the fountain at the zoo took about eight years, and then it was finally moved from its original location on Astor Court to its present position in the center of the Bronx Zoo’s Rainey Gate Concourse in 1910. It was declared a landmark in1968.

ARCHAEOPTERYX: LA PRIMERA AVE

Las aves son descendientes de los dinosaurios no aviares, ¡y todas las aves actuales SON dinosaurios! Se dice que el Archaeopteryx es la primera ave porque representa la transición entre los dinosaurios no aviares (dinosaurios que no eran aves) y las aves modernas.

AUTOSUFICIENTE DESDE EL NACIMIENTO

Los Rapetosaurus bebés eran precociales, lo que significa que podían vivir por su cuenta inmediatamente después de nacer. En la actualidad, muchas aves son precociales, como los patos, los gansos, las codornices, los rálidos y las aves costeras.

$\"Duck$

A. Los patos son precociales.\nLas crías nacen con los ojos abiertos y con una capa de plumón bien desarrollada, y al poco tiempo son capaces de caminar, nadar y buscar comida.

¡Observe los patos en los Estanques del norte!

B. Los petirrojos son altriciales.\nNacen sin plumas e indefensos, con los ojos cerrados. Sus padres deben encargarse de alimentarlos y darles calor hasta que les crezcan plumas, abran los ojos y aprendan a volar.

DINOSAURIOS VIVIENTES: ¡AVES!

¡Las aves SON dinosaurios! Las primeras aves evolucionaron a partir de los dinosaurios no aviares y vivieron junto a ellos hace cerca de 150 millones de años. Sobrevivieron a la extinción masiva que aniquiló al resto de los dinosaurios hace 66 millones de años, y se convirtieron en los ancestros de las aves modernas.

Los dinosaurios salvajes (aves acuáticas) hacen una parada en este lago para descansar y reabastecerse durante la migración. Algunos incluso se quedan aquí todo el año.

COMUNICARSE COMO AVES

Las aves cantan y emiten llamados y graznidos para comunicarse. Puede que algunos dinosaurios no aviares también se hayan comunicado vocalmente.

$\"Parasaurolophus$

Es posible que las crestas huecas del Parasaurolophus le hayan servido para amplificar sus llamados. Los cálaos actuales usan sus casquetes huecos para potenciar sus llamados.

$\"Elephant$

Los paleontólogos intentaron recrear el llamado del Parasaurolophus a partir de un cráneo bien conservado y un modelado 3D por computadora. Creen que emitía un sonido profundo y bajo, como los elefantes y las ballenas.

Las primeras aves tenían hocicos con dientes en vez de picos. El Confuciusornis vivió aproximadamente 20 millones de años después del Archaeopteryx, la primera ave, y fue el primero en tener pico (hasta donde se conoce).

El Cryolophosaurus fue descubierto en la Antártida. En la época en la que vivió el Cryolophosaurus, la Antártida no estaba tan al sur como en la actualidad, pero aun así las noches de invierno eran largas.

$\"Broken$

HUESOS ROTOS Y MORDIDAS

A veces, los huesos fosilizados de dinosaurios tienen fracturas curadas o marcas de mordiscos. Gracias a esta información, podemos saber qué le pasó a ese dinosaurio cuando estaba vivo.

Las fracturas curadas en muchos huesos del pie del Allosaurus probablemente se produjeron cuando estaba intentando someter a su presa, lo que lleva a los científicos a pensar que era un cazador activo y no un carroñero.

$\"Teeth\"$

DIENTES

Los dientes fosilizados nos indican qué tipo de alimento comían los dinosaurios no aviares.

Los dientes anchos y planos eran ideales para triturar plantas, mientras que los dientes largos, parecidos a lápices, servían para arrancar hojas de las ramas. Y, obviamente, los dientes puntiagudos y afilados eran perfectos para comer carne.

$\"Stomach$

PIEDRAS EN EL ESTÓMAGO

¿Por qué algunos antiguos dinosaurios tragaban piedras? Probablemente porque les servían para triturar alimentos.

Los dinosaurios como el Mamenchisaurus, el Citipati y el Gallimimus no tenían dientes que sirvieran para masticar, por lo que tragaban piedras, conocidas como gastrolitos, para ayudarlos a procesar los alimentos. Muchas aves actuales, como avestruces, patos y pingüinos —por poner algunos ejemplos— hacen exactamente lo mismo.

$\"Prehistoric$

EXCREMENTO PREHISTÓRICO

¿Sabía que el excremento puede quedar fosilizado?

Los coprolitos nos ayudan a obtener más detalles sobre lo que comían los animales extintos. A veces se encuentran huesos o fragmentos de plantas identificables en los coprolitos, lo que revela qué otras plantas y animales vivían en el mismo periodo que la criatura que defecó.

Las heces fosilizadas se llaman coprolitos.

$\"Dinosaur$

PLUMAS DE DINOSAURIO

Las plumas fosilizadas son la clave para saber de qué colores eran algunos dinosaurios.

Al comparar las formas, concentraciones y orientaciones de los pigmentos en las células de plumas fosilizadas con las plumas de aves modernas, los paleontólogos han descubierto que algunos dinosaurios tenían colores intensos, como rojo, naranja y negro iridiscente.

¡Este Sinosauropteryx (si-no-sau-rop-TE-rix) incluso tenía rayas!

$\"Footprints\"$

HUELLAS

Las huellas fosilizadas nos permiten saber mucho más que solo el tamaño de las patas de los dinosaurios extintos.

Las huellas nos dan mucha información acerca de cómo vivían los dinosaurios no aviares: su forma de caminar, si se trasladaban solos o en grupo, o incluso cómo era el terreno donde dejaron sus huellas.

La longitud de la zancada nos permite saber a qué velocidad se desplazaba el animal.

DEFENSA Y ATAQUE

Se descubrieron fósiles de un triceratops y de un tiranosaurio rex entrelazados, ambos con heridas. Esto podría indicar que el T. rex cazaba activamente al Triceratops.

Un Ankylosaurus adulto tenía pocas probabilidades de ser capturado, incluso por el cazador más grande de todos, debido a su cuerpo acorazado y al mazo defensivo de su cola.

SOBREVIVIR POR CUENTA PROPIA

Como los fósiles de Triceratops y Ankylosaurus adultos suelen hallarse solos, los paleontólogos creen que estos dinosaurios vivían por su cuenta.

Algunas aves actuales, como las cigüeñas de Storm, también son solitarias. La vida en soledad puede hacer que sea más fácil encontrar comida, en especial cuando hay escasez de recursos.

¡Obsérvelas en la Casa de las aves acuáticas!

$\"Deinonychus\"$

1. DEINONYCHUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: dei-no-NI-chus\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico temprano, de 115 a 108 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

DINOSAURIOS PEQUEÑOS, ALIMENTOS GRANDES

Es probable que los Deinonychus, pequeños dinosaurios carnívoros, se hayan aliado entre sí para cazar presas más grandes, como el Tenontosaurus. Sin embargo, resulta más probable que buscaran carroña en grupo, como los buitres y los cóndores de la actualidad.

$\"Archaeopteryx\"$

VÍNCULOS ENTRE LOS DINOSAURIOS ANTIGUOS Y LAS AVES

El Deinonychus tenía huesos de muñeca muy similares a los del Archaeopteryx, el primer pájaro, expuesto arriba. El descubrimiento del Deinonychus aportó más evidencia a la idea de que las aves descendieron de los dinosaurios no aviares.

$\"Tenontosaurus\"$

2. TENONTOSAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: te-non-to-SAU-rus\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico temprano, de 115 a 108 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

Muchos fósiles de Tenontosaurus (el 20 %) se han encontrado en yacimientos óseos junto a fósiles de Deinonychus. Esto indica que el Deinonychus a menudo se alimentaba de Tenontosaurus.

1. PELÍCANO CEÑUDO

Pelecanus crispus\nCómo pronunciarlo: pe-lí-ca-no ce-ÑU-do\nVive durante: Holoceno (¡ahora!)\nÁrea de distribución: Asia, Europa

DINOSAURIOS VIVIENTES: ¡AVES!

Los pelícanos ceñudos suelen cazar en grupos pequeños de tres a cinco ejemplares. Guían a los peces hasta aguas poco profundas y luego los sacan con sus sacos golares.

$\"Dalmatian$

Los pelícanos ceñudos son una de las especies de aves voladoras más grandes. Pesan 30 libras (13 kg) y tienen una envergadura mayor a 11 pies (3.35 metros).

1. GIGANOTOSAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: gi-ga-no-to-SAU-rus\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 100 a 95 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Argentina

EL ORIGEN DE LAS AVES

Las aves evolucionaron a partir de dinosaurios extintos, en particular, de los terópodos carnívoros, un grupo que incluía al Giganotosaurus.

A. LAS AVES Y LOS DINOSAURIOS DE LA ANTIGÜEDAD TENÍAN MUCHAS COSAS EN COMÚN:

Caminaban sobre dos patas.
Tenían huesos huecos.
Ponían huevos.
Tenían plumas (es probable que el Giganotosaurus no haya tenido plumas, pero algunos dinosaurios extintos sí).

$\"Giganotosaurus\"$

¿CUÁL ERA EL CARNÍVORO MÁS GRANDE?

El Giganotosaurus tenía solo unos pocos pies más de largo que el Tyrannosaurus, pero el Tyrannosaurus era más pesado y corpulento.

$\"Sinraptor\"$

FÓSIL DE SINRAPTOR

El Sinraptor (sin-RAP-tor) fue un dinosaurio carnívoro de gran tamaño que vivía en China. Aunque tuviera este nombre, el Sinraptor no era un dinosaurio “raptor” como el Velociraptor. Tenía un parentesco más cercano con otro dinosaurio carnívoro, el Allosaurus.

$\"Mamenchisaurus\"$

COSTILLAS DE MAMENCHISAURUS

Los saurópodos como el Mamenchisaurus (ma-men-chi-SAU-rus) fueron los animales terrestres más grandes que habitaron la Tierra. El Mamenchisaurus tenía costillas más largas en la base del cuello que cualquier otro dinosaurio: medían más de 13 pies (casi 4 metros) de largo.

$\"Tyrannosaurus$

PATA DE TIRANOSÁURIDO

Los tiranosáuridos como el Tyrannosaurus rex, se paraban, caminaban y corrían sobre los dedos de los pies, ¡como las aves modernas! Tenían tres grandes dedos en cada pata con los que soportaban todo su peso. El hueso triangular en medio de la pata les permitía una mayor estabilidad para correr largas distancias.

$\"Maiasaura\"$

HUEVOS DE MAIASAURA

El Maiasaura (mai-a-SAU-ra) construía nidos de barro, al igual que los flamencos de hoy. Estos huevos tienen un tamaño gigante. Los huevos de Maiasaura reales medían alrededor de 6 pulgadas (15 cm) de largo, el tamaño de un huevo de avestruz actual.

$\"Troodon\"$

1. TROODON

Cómo pronunciarlo: tro-o-DON\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, 76 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos, Canadá

El Troodon tenía un cerebro proporcionalmente más grande que otros dinosaurios de la misma época. Es posible que haya sido igual de inteligente que un avestruz.

HACER NIDOS COMO LAS AVES

Algunos dinosaurios extintos construían nidos y cuidaban sus huevos. Los nidos fosilizados de Maiasaura, cuyo nombre significa “lagarto buena madre”, nos indican que algunos dinosaurios no aviares cuidaban a sus crías.

$\"Flamingos\"$

El Maiasaura anidaba en colonias y construía nidos de barro, como los flamencos. Estas colonias densamente pobladas pudieron haberlos ayudado a proteger sus huevos y crías de depredadores como el Troodon.

¡Observe los flamencos en la Casa de las aves acuáticas y el Café Dancing Crane!

$\"Birds$

Es probable que el Maiasaura incubara sus huevos llenando los nidos de plantas que liberaban calor a medida que se pudrían. Los maleos actuales aprovechan el calor de la arena volcánica para incubar sus huevos.

¡Observe los maleos en el Mundo de las aves!

1. MAJUNGASAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: ma-jun-ga-SAU-rus\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 70 a 66 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Madagascar

La isla de Madagascar era el hogar de dinosaurios no aviares únicos. El Majungasaurus y el Rapetosaurus vivían en Madagascar, que se separó del continente de África hace al menos 150 millones de años. No se han hallado fósiles de estos dinosaurios en ninguna otra parte.

El Majungasaurus era fuerte, corpulento y probablemente se especializó en cazar Rapetosaurus.

ISLAS: EL HOGAR DE ESPECIES ÚNICAS

Separadas del continente, muchas islas son el hábitat de muchas plantas y animales endémicos, es decir, que no se encuentran en ninguna otra parte de la Tierra. En la actualidad, hay varias especies de aves que solo se encuentran en una o dos islas pequeñas.

¡Conozca a estas aves en el Mundo de las aves!

$\"Luzon$

A. Paloma de corazón sangrante de Luzón\nSolo se encuentra en las islas Filipinas de Luzón y Polillo.

B. Paloma crestada Victoria\nSolo se encuentra en las islas de Nueva Guinea, Yapen, Biak y Supiori.

$\"Allosaurus\"$

1. ALLOSAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: a-lo-SAU-rus\nCuándo vivió: Jurásico tardío, 150 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos, Portugal

LOS ANCESTROS DE LAS AVES

Las aves evolucionaron a partir de los terópodos: dinosaurios fundamentalmente carnívoros que andaban sobre dos patas, como el Allosaurus.

A. CARACTERÍSTICAS DE LAS AVES Y OTROS TERÓPODOS

Eran bípedos (caminaban sobre dos patas).
Tenían huesos huecos.
Ponían huevos.
Tenían plumas (no se sabe si el Allosaurus tenía plumas, pero muchos otros terópodos no aviares sí tenían).

$\"Stegosaurus\"$

2. STEGOSAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: este-go-SAU-rus\nCuándo vivió: Jurásico tardío, 150 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

Allosaurus vs. Stegosaurus

La evidencia fósil de heridas parcialmente curadas indica que el Allosaurus cazaba al Stegosaurus. Se encontró un fósil de un alosaurio con una herida de perforación que coincide con la púa de la cola del Stegosaurus, mientras que una placa cervical de un estegosaurio tenía una herida que coincidía con una mordedura de Allosaurus.

$\"Dino$

LOS DINOSAURIOS FORMAN MANADAS

Hay millones de huellas fosilizadas de dinosaurios por todo Estados Unidos, lo que indica que grandes manadas de dinosaurios antiguos se desplazaban en grupo. Los fósiles de Pentaceratops jóvenes y adultos hallados juntos sugieren que, para estos dinosaurios, viajar en grupo era un asunto familiar.

$\"Birds$

Al igual que los gansos, las grullas, algunos estorninos y otras aves de la actualidad, algunos dinosaurios no aviares como el Pentaceratops podrían haber migrado en grandes grupos como forma de protección.

1. LOKICERATOPS

Cómo pronunciarlo: lo-ki-ce-RA-tops\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, 78 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

DESCUBIERTO EN 2024

Se halló al Lokiceratops en la misma zona que otras cuatro especies de dinosaurios con cuernos. Este hecho prueba que estas especies, diferentes pero con similitudes, podían coexistir en un mismo hábitat, al igual que las aves de hoy. Las aves acuáticas como las cigüeñas, los ibis, los plateínos, las garcetas y las garzas anidan juntas en colonias mixtas.

El único fósil conocido de Lokiceratops está en el Knuthenborg Museum of Evolution de Dinamarca.

NUEVOS DESCUBRIMIENTOS DE DINOSAURIOS

Se descubren nuevos dinosaurios todo el tiempo: en promedio, cada dos semanas. Cada hallazgo suma una pieza al rompecabezas de nuestros conocimientos sobre los dinosaurios extintos, y también nos ayuda a entender mejor a los animales actuales.

1. PROTOCERATOPS

Cómo pronunciarlo: pro-to-ce-RA-tops\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 75 a 71 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: China, Mongolia

A. El Protoceratops fue un antiguo dinosaurio ceratópsido que vivió antes del Triceratops, con quien estaba emparentado. A diferencia de la mayoría de los dinosaurios, el Protoceratops ponía huevos con cáscara blanda, al igual que los cocodrilos y las tortugas actuales.

PLUMAS DE DINOSAURIO

El Gallimimus fue uno de muchos dinosaurios no aviares con plumas, como las aves actuales. Similar a los avestruces, tenía cuello y piernas largas, y es probable que corriera para huir de sus depredadores.

Una de las primeras representaciones populares de dinosaurios no aviares comportándose como aves actuales apareció en la película Parque Jurásico de 1993, donde se muestra a los Gallimimus corriendo en manada.

$\"Pterosaurs\"$

PTEROSAURIOS: ANTIGUOS REPTILES VOLADORES

Los pterosaurios no eran dinosaurios, pero vivieron durante la misma época que los dinosaurios no aviares (que no eran aves). Si bien las aves provienen de los dinosaurios no aviares y no de los pterosaurios, estos últimos compartían muchas características con las aves actuales, en particular, la capacidad de volar.

$\"What$

¿QUÉ ES UN FÓSIL?

Los fósiles son los restos de seres vivos que murieron hace al menos 10 000 años.

CUERPOS FÓSILES

Evidencias de la naturaleza física de las antiguas formas de vida; es decir, qué aspecto tenían.


$\"Bones\"$		Huesos
$\"Claws\"$		Garras
$\"Shells\"$		Caparazones
$\"Teeth\"$		Dientes
$\"Wood\"$		Madera
$\"Feathers\"$		Marcas de piel y plumas

RASTROS FÓSILES

Evidencias de las actividades de las antiguas formas de vida; por ejemplo, qué comían y cómo se desplazaban.


$\"Footprints\"$		Huellas
$\"Poop\"$		Excremento
$\"Nests$		Nidos o madrigueras
$\"Feeding$		Marcas de alimentación

LOS FÓSILES NOS DAN PISTAS, PERO NO REVELAN LA HISTORIA COMPLETA


$\"Mammoth\"$		Usando solo este esqueleto, ¿puede responder estas preguntas? ¿Qué tamaño tienen las orejas de este animal? ¿De qué color es su piel? ¿Qué tan larga o corta es su nariz?
$\"Elephant\"$		Si solo nos basamos en fósiles, podemos pasar por alto información importante. Por eso, los científicos llenan los vacíos con sus conocimientos sobre los animales actuales.

¿QUÉ ESTÁ EXCAVANDO AQUÍ ARRIBA?

$\"Protoceratops\"$

El Velociraptor y el Protoceratops\nEsta es una réplica de un descubrimiento fósil real del desierto de Gobi, en Mongolia.

A diferencia de la mayoría de los fósiles, “Pelea de dinosaurios” captura a dos dinosaurios en acción, mostrándonos cómo interactuaban. En pleno combate, el velocirraptor probablemente usó sus largas garras en forma de hoz para herir a su presa, mientras que el protoceratops le mordía la pata delantera para defenderse.

$\"Velociraptor\"$

Velociraptor\nEste Velociraptor fue preservado en una posición muy diferente al fósil de “Pelea de dinosaurios”. ¿Qué cosas nota al comparar los dos fósiles?

$\"Gastonia\"$

1. GASTONIA

Cómo pronunciarlo: gas-TO-nia\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico temprano, de 139 a 125 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

Las púas y placas acorazadas del Gastonia lo mantenían a salvo del Utahraptor.

RAPTORES: DEPREDADORES CON PLUMAS

El Utahraptor fue uno de los dromeosáuridos más grandes, a veces llamados “raptores”. Al igual que otros raptores, como el Deinonychus y el Velociraptor, el Utahraptor probablemente tenía plumas, lo que significa que es uno de los dinosaurios con plumas más grandes conocidos hasta la fecha.

$\"Andean$

En la actualidad, el cóndor andino es el ave rapaz más grande del mundo. A diferencia del Utahraptor, que probablemente fue un cazador, los cóndores andinos son en su gran mayoría carroñeros.

$\"Golden$

Las águilas reales pueden descender en picada a velocidades de aproximadamente 200 millas (322 km) por hora para atrapar a sus presas. Con más de 23 pies (7 metros) de largo, el Utahraptor habría dependido de su tamaño en lugar de su velocidad para cazar presas como los iguanodontes.

¡Obsérvelas en Aves rapaces!

$\"Citipati\"$

1. CITIPATI

Cómo pronunciarlo: ci-ti-PA-ti\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 75 a 71 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Mongolia

$\"Sitting$

SENTADOS EN NIDOS COMO AVES

Se halló un Citipati fosilizado encima de sus huevos no eclosionados, resguardados por sus extremidades delanteras, igual a las aves que protegen los suyos con sus alas. Es probable que el Citipati haya usado sus extremidades largas y las plumas de su cola para proteger los huevos y a las crías de las condiciones climáticas.

A. Citipati fosilizado protegiendo huevos

B. En la actualidad, el emú y otras aves se sientan sobre sus nidos como hacía el Citipati.

$\"Velociraptor\"$

2. VELOCIRAPTOR

Cómo pronunciarlo: ve-lo-ci-RAP-tor\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 75 a 71 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: China, Mongolia

El Velociraptor, otro dinosaurio no aviar con plumas, también vivía en entornos desérticos.

$\"Tarchia\"$

3. TARCHIA

Cómo pronunciarlo: tar-CHIA\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 75 a 70 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Mongolia

Pesado, acorazado y con cuatro patas, el Tarchia se alimentaba de plantas. Para protegerse, su piel tenía una placa ósea conocida como osteodermo.

HAY MUCHAS COSAS POR APRENDER SOBRE LA VIDA SILVESTRE

Desde el estudio de los antiguos dinosaurios hasta los animales modernos, la ciencia es el proceso que permite explorar y comprender el mundo natural.

LOS CIENTÍFICOS DEL BRONX ZOO REALIZAN NUEVOS DESCUBRIMIENTOS TODOS LOS AÑOS.

Nuestras investigaciones en todo el mundo han llevado al descubrimiento de nuevas especies, así como a la protección de especies en peligro de extinción.

A. Nuestros científicos de campo en Camboya contribuyeron al descubrimiento de una nueva especie, el sastrecillo camboyano, ¡en plena ciudad capital!

B. Los cuidadores del Bronx Zoo descubrieron cómo reproducir a los maleos, una especie en peligro crítico de extinción. Somos el único zoológico de Estados Unidos que ha logrado reproducirlos con éxito.

$\"Spinosaurus\"$

1. SPINOSAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: espi-no-SAU-rus \nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 112 a 93 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: África del Norte

LOS PALEONTÓLOGOS TAMBIÉN REALIZAN DESCUBRIMIENTOS

En los últimos años, los científicos han descubierto y estudiado más fósiles completos de Spinosaurus, lo que cambió nuestra percepción de su apariencia. Compare los dos Spinosaurus frente a usted. Evidencias más recientes apuntan a estos nuevos datos sobre el Spinosaurus:

C. Caminaba sobre cuatro patas, no dos.

D. Tenía una cola ancha que usaba para impulsarse en el agua, en lugar de una cola redondeada.

E. Tenía patas palmeadas que se parecen mucho a las de las aves costeras actuales.

$\"Tyrannosaurus$

1. TYRANNOSAURUS REX

Cómo pronunciarlo: ti-ra-no-SAU-rus rex\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, 66 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos, Canadá

TIRANOSAURIO REX: CAZADOR Y CARROÑERO

Durante mucho tiempo, los paleontólogos debatieron sobre si el T. rex era un cazador feroz o un carroñero astuto. Después de comparar sus capacidades sensoriales con las de las aves actuales, la evidencia sugiere que lo más probable es que haya sido ambas cosas.

$\"Smell$

A. El sentido del olfato para buscar carroña\nLos buitres usan su sentido del olfato para encontrar y rastrear cadáveres como carroña. El Tyrannosaurus rex tenía grandes cavidades nasales, y pudo haber tenido un sentido del olfato similar al de los buitres actuales.

B. Visión para la caza\nComo las aves rapaces que dependen de su sentido de la vista para localizar y cazar presas, el Tyrannosaurus rex tenía una visión binocular, lo que le daba percepción de profundidad. Es muy probable que el T. rex pudiera ver hasta 3.7 millas (casi 6 km) de distancia. ¡Tenían mejor visión que un águila!

¡Observe buitres y águilas en Aves rapaces!

$\"Tyrannosaurus$

LOS T. REX LUCHABAN… ¿ENTRE SÍ?

Si bien los dientes de los tiranosaurios eran adecuados para morder presas, la evidencia de marcas de mordeduras cicatrizadas indica que también se mordían las caras entre sí. Es posible que se hayan peleado por dominación, territorio, derechos de apareamiento, o incluso durante el cortejo.

1. KOSMOCERATOPS

Cómo pronunciarlo: kos-mo-ce-RA-tops\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 83 a 70 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

UNA APARIENCIA LLAMATIVA COMO FORMA DE COMUNICACIÓN

Es probable que la intrincada gola ósea del Kosmoceratops no fuera lo suficientemente resistente para defenderse; por eso, los paleontólogos creen que la utilizaba para enviar señales a los miembros de su misma especie. Tanto los machos como las hembras podrían haber tenido estas golas intrincadas.

$\"Peacock$

A. Los pavos reales desarrollan plumas elaboradas para atraer a las hembras.

B. Los cálaos machos y hembras tienen colores llamativos y crestas intrincadas.

$\"Kosmoceratops\"$

Dado que, en general, no es posible saber el color de los dinosaurios a partir de sus fósiles, los paleoartistas tienen que hacer algunas suposiciones basándose en los animales actuales. Las aves modernas tienen colores llamativos, por lo que es posible que el Kosmoceratops también haya sido muy colorido.

1. TUPUXUARA

Cómo pronunciarlo: tu-pu-XUA-ra\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico temprano, de 125 a 108 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Brasil

UN CORTEJO CON ALAS

Es probable que los pterosaurios como el Tupuxuara conformaran grupos numerosos llamados “leks” para encontrar pareja, donde competían entre sí mediante demostraciones llamativas.

$\"World$

Muchas aves actuales forman leks. Los gallitos de roca andinos machos se reúnen y baten las alas, mueven la cabeza y golpean sus picos mientras emiten llamadas fuertes para atraer a las hembras.

1. QUETZALCOATLUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: quet-zal-co-AT-lus\nCuándo vivió: Cretácico tardío, de 72 a 66 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: Estados Unidos

UN GIGANTE VOLADOR\nNo es un pájaro, no es un avión… ¡es un Quetzalcoatlus! El pterosaurio Quetzalcoatlus fue uno de los animales voladores más grandes del mundo.

A. Los modelos hechos con computadora indican que el Quetzalcoatlus podría haber sido capaz de volar durante 10 días y de alcanzar velocidades de 80 mph (129 km/h).

$\"Quetzalcoatlus\"$

EN EL AIRE\nEl Quetzalcoatlus tenía la misma envergadura alar que un avión de cuatro asientos: de 36 pies (11 metros) de largo. Es el triple que la del albatros errante, el ave con la mayor envergadura en la actualidad. Al igual que el albatros errante, es posible que el Quetzalcoatlus se haya desplazado mediante planeo eficiente en energía.

$\"Quetzalcoatlus\"$

C. EN LA TIERRA . El Quetzalcoatlus era tan alto como una jirafa: medía 18 pies (5.5 metros).

$\"Mamenchisaurus\"$

1. MAMENCHISAURUS

Cómo pronunciarlo: ma-men-chi-SAU-rus\nCuándo vivió: Jurásico tardío, de 156 a 145 millones de años atrás\nDónde se descubrieron los fósiles: China

UN GRAN DINOSAURIO CON HUESOS DE AVE

Los saurópodos de cuello largo como el Mamenchisaurus eran los dinosaurios más grandes de todos. Pudieron alcanzar un tamaño extraordinario en parte gracias a los sacos aéreos en sus huesos, que disminuían su peso. Las aves actuales también tienen huesos huecos que reducen su peso y facilitan el vuelo.

$\"Hallow$

HUESOS HUECOS PARA OPTIMIZAR LA RESPIRACIÓN

Los espacios huecos en los huesos de las aves están llenos de sacos aéreos, extensiones del sistema respiratorio que les permiten respirar de forma más eficiente. El Mamenchisaurus y otros dinosaurios no aviares tenían un sistema similar formado por sacos aéreos en sus huesos.

A. Estas zonas oscuras son cavidades de aire. ¿Nota las semejanzas entre los huesos de las aves y de los saurópodos?

El cuello del Mamenchisaurus ocupaba casi la mitad del largo total de su cuerpo. ¡Su cuello medía más de 30 pies (9 metros)!

Como muchos dinosaurios, el primer espécimen de Mamenchisaurus no fue descubierto por científicos. Un grupo de obreros de la construcción en China central encontraron sus huesos.
