Khaan
Liaoxiornis
is often called the smallest
known mesozoic bird, but should be
seen as a juvenile, thus it has
very big eyes, an extremely enlarged pygostyle, and
a chick-like wing-to-body length
ratio. Today, there are some more specimens
found. Here is a very fine picture
of a sitting chick, drawn by
Linda Spindler
another student of paleontology at
Freiberg.
