Albertavenator curriei: New Species of Bird-Like Dinosaur Identified in Canada
Jul 17, 2017 by Enrico de Lazaro
 

A team of paleontologists from the Philip J Currie Dinosaur Museum, the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum has added another species of bird-like feathered dinosaur to the prehistoric catalog, and this one was found in Canada.
 

Albertavenator curriei, as the paleontologists call the new dinosaur species, belongs to Troodontidae, a family of bird-like theropod dinosaurs.

It lived about 71 million years ago (Cretaceous period) in what is now Alberta, Canada.
