Shuvuuia

Shuvuuia is a small, bird-like theropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 million years ago. It was discovered in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, and its name means 'bird' in the Mongolian language. Shuvuuia had a small, lightweight body with long, slender legs and arms, and it is thought to have been an agile runner. It had a long, slender neck and a small head with large eyes, which may have helped it locate prey. Shuvuuia is known from only a few fossil specimens, so much about its biology and behavior is still unknown. However, it is thought to have been a carnivorous predator that hunted small animals and possibly scavenged for food.
