The Venomous(?) Flying(?) Dinosaur | Sinornithosaurus | Dino Basics

Dinosaurs are a mysterious bunch. Even after knowing of their existence for hundreds of years, we still continue to learn about new, bizarre creatures that roamed our prehistoric world, and even for those we thought we knew, we continue to learn more that makes them even more bizarre. Case and point, the Sinornithosaurus. It may not have been big, but it was certainly oozing with personality. Sinornithosaurus would supposedly sport a coat of feathers to allow for short flight, and even wield a power venom to neutralize its prey, a trait rarely seen in any dinosaurs we know of. But, how much of this is true? Was a creature like Sinornithosaurus truly so peculiar? How much of this narrative is really the case, and how much is just a Jurassic Park-like exaggeration? Let's find out!
