flag Study shows bird-like dinosaur Oksoko avarsan used its short arms for tasks, challenging views on their functionality.

flag A study on oviraptorosaurs, bird-like dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period, challenges the belief that their short forelimbs were useless. flag Researchers from the University of Edinburgh found that dinosaurs like Oksoko avarsan retained functional forelimbs, suggesting they may have used them for tasks like digging for food or nest building. flag This discovery indicates that finger and arm evolution was more complex and functional than previously thought.
