Anzu wyliei is a theropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous, which inhabited what is now North America about 66 million years ago. It belongs to the Oviraptorosauria family, a group of feathered dinosaurs characterized by their avian aspects. Often nicknamed "the chicken from hell", due to its strange combination of features reminiscent of modern birds, this dinosaur is one of the most intriguing creatures of the Cretaceous period.
Anzu wyliei had a length of about 3.5 meters from head to tail and an estimated weight of around 200-300 kilograms. Its body was covered in feathers, although it was not capable of flight. It had a long, slender neck, a robust torso, and strong hind limbs, suggesting that it was an agile runner. Its front legs, which ended in three clawed fingers, were shorter but equally powerful, which could have allowed it to grab objects or prey.
The skull of Anzu wyliei is one of the most distinctive features of this theropod dinosaur. This skull is relatively large in proportion to its body, with a length of approximately 45 to 50 centimeters. It has an elongated and narrow shape, topped by a toothless beak similar to that of modern birds, suggesting that it could have fed on a variety of plants, small animals, and even carrion.
One of the most striking features of the skull of Anzu wyliei is the presence of a prominent bony crest on the top of its head. This crest, which extended from the front of the skull to the back, probably served display functions, such as recognition between individuals of the same species or attracting a mate, although its exact purpose remains under study.
The eyes of Anzu wyliei were relatively large and were located towards the sides of the head, which would have provided it with good peripheral vision. This suggests that it had a good sense of sight, which would have been useful both for finding food and avoiding predators.
