This small, horned dinosaur is Psittacosaurus, meaning “parrot lizard.” Scientists initially named this relative of Triceratops for its parrotlike beak; later they found evidence that it had feathery fibers along its tail. These simple fibers are an early stage of feather evolution and have been found on many dinosaurs.
