The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

Wang Min, a researcher with the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), works at his office at IVPP in Beijing, capital of China, on February 10, 2025. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought. The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known. The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature, on February 11, 2025, in B

Green Parrots Hanging From Tree - India

Illustration of a green parrot, known as the alexandrine parakeet, hanging from a tree branch on outskirts village of Ajmer, Rajahstan, India on April, 10 2024. The Alexandrine parakeet, scientifically referred to as Psittacula eupatria and commonly known as the Alexandrine parrot, is a moderate-sized member of the Psittacula genus within the Psittaculidae family. Originating from South Asia and Southeast Asia, it owes its name to Alexander the Great. This designation comes from Alexander's endeavor of bringing numerous birds from Punjab to different parts of Europe and the Mediterranean, where they gained esteem among royalty, nobility, and warlords.
