Long-Tailed Yandang-Bird

  Yandangornis  longicaudus

(Cai & Zhao, 1999)

    Yandagornis longicaudus is a rather large bird that lives in the lower stories of the forest.  An awkward flier, this heavy creature runs along the forest floor, or climbs trees in search of the fruits and small animals that make up its diet.
