Not all dinosaurs are two-ton scaly beasts. The Caudipteryx is a three-foot-tall dinosaur that may be related both to the peacock and the Tyrannosaurus. With a name that means "tail feather," Caudipteryx may be the genetic link between dinosaurs and modern birds. Like its larger relations, Caudipteryx is a predator. Although small in size, its great speed allows it to capture prey much larger than itself. Because of the tough exoskeletons possessed by most of its prey, Caudipteryx has to consume gastroliths, or smooth stones, to aid in its digestion. In addition to its speed, the long sharp teeth found in the upper jaw of Caudipteryx's skull permit it to make deep slashing attacks. This theropod has above-average intelligence, which makes it an excellent hunter. Like many of the other small predators, Caudipteryx is a pack hunter, combining speed, intelligence, and very sharp teeth to make its kills. Unlike many other predators, Caudipteryx is covered in feathers, which can reach up to eight inches in length. The most distinctive of these make up a tail fan which looks much like that of a peacock or turkey. These feathers are symmetrical in shape, unlike those of flighted birds, so they are used only for insulation and decoration. Since close-range study of these fast and elusive animals is difficult, it is not known whether they are warm- or cold-blooded. But insulating feathers on these creatures is a strong argument that they are warm-blooded. Although flightless, Caudipteryx shares many characteristics with birds. The long legs end in claws which can be used for perching on low branches. These legs also allow Caudipteryx to wade in shallow water, searching for aquatic supplements to its carnivorous diet.
