A remarkable fossil of Plumadraco bankoorum, a bird from the Early Cretaceous period approximately 121 million years ago, has garnered attention due to its unusually long tail feathers. Discovered in northern China, this fossil was previously stored among other avian remains and underwent re-examination that highlighted its distinctive morphology. The bird's body size is comparable to that of a modern robin, yet its tail feathers extend nearly twice as long. The fossil's well-preserved feathers showcase narrow, elongated forms with tapered ends, suggesting a darker pigmentation likely in shades of brown or black. This species is part of the enantiornithes group, which coexisted with non-avian dinosaurs and exhibited a variety of unique adaptations, including the presence of teeth. While the skeletal remains are incomplete, the tail region offers critical anatomical details that enhance our understanding of early bird evolution and their ecological context, which included wetlands and diverse vegetation.
