Dr. Mike Knell, who found the Talos fossil, said it was a coincidence when she was searching for the fossil of Utah's turtle. " This is one of the most beautiful carnivorous birds we've found in North America," she added.

Talos sampsoni lived in the 'peaceful world', a period of rain in the late Cretaceous in North America. Talos is one of the small animals that eat meat, like birds. This dinosaur species is named after the image of a Greek mythical character, with wings and can run at lightning speed.

But what's interesting is that this Talos dinosaur fossil wounded on the second toe and this created a wave of intense debate around what 'Talos used his forelegs for?' .

When scientists analyzed Talos' broken bones through a CT scanner, they confirmed that the cut was caused by another species. But team leader Zanno added: 'We never observed the behavior of this Talos species and it always caused controversy.'
