Scientists recently announced the discovery of a small, bird-like dinosaur from China which had unusual, colorful feathers. The scientists named the dinosaur Caihong, the Mandarin word for rainbow. They discovered the nearly complete and almost entirely undamaged fossil in Hebei Province. Microscopic structures in the fossil suggest that the creature had wide, shiny feathers. The feathers mostly covered the dinosaur’s head and upper body. The colors of those feathers would have appeared to change depending on how the light hit them. The colorful dinosaur lived 161 million years ago during the Jurassic Period of earth’s history.
