Chinese Flying Dragon

The Chinese flying dragon (Yi Qi) is a species of small non-avian theropod dinosaur part of the scansoriopterygid family. It was originally extinct and once lived in the Late Jurassic China, but has since been brought back from extinction into Holocene Eurasia, the Americas, and Africa in 1100s. It is an tree-dwelling (arboreal) animal, using its clawed feet and some fingers to climb up into trees. Unlike any other dinosaurs, including birds, this species have an unusual, elongated third finger, that supports a membranous gliding plane made of skin, similar to that of pterosaurs and bats. It is a carnivore that feeds mainly on insects, scorpions, spiders, fish, frogs, small lizards, small snakes, small birds, eggs, small mammals, and carrion. All known species of Chinese flying dragons are listed as Least Concern due to being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs, as well as being extremely tolerant to human activities.
