"Dinosaur Fossil Discovery in Mongolia's Gobi Desert Reveals Surprising Sleeping Habits"

TL;DR Summary
A new species of dinosaur, Jaculinykus yaruui, has been discovered in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. The fossil, dating back approximately 71 million years, reveals that the dinosaur slept in a position similar to modern birds, with its neck and tail bent and hind limbs folded under its pelvis. This finding suggests that Maniraptoran dinosaurs, including the newly discovered species, may have adopted the same sleeping position as modern birds to keep warm.
