Animals like Shuvuuia were evidently very fleet footed. since the pes was fully arctometatarsal, like for example, that of the ornithomimids, annd the Mt3/F index indicates cursorialiry. This is very unlike mammals in which the forces of digging, demand overall robusticity, including the hindlimbs.

Compared to those in typical theropod ckades, the teeth of Shuvuuia are minute. Nonetheless despite the extreme and obvious modification, to the forelimb and thorax, the jaws are not edentulous which indicates the teeth are functional, not vestiges.

The facial skeleton of at least Shuvuuia, is prokinetic, ie. the top jaw flexes upwards. This hinge is common in birds yet exceptuonal in other dinosaurs, and assists probing, foraging, and grasping behaviors in birds such as the hoopoe. Shuvuuia thus ate small items, but large enough to grasp.

Thanks for the #artshare Cheyn!! I'm Guillaume and I draw a bit of everything but as far as Pride month goes, I've made a few "Pride Flag Dinosaurs" along across the years.

An interesting detail: They resegmented the endocast of the alvarezsaur Shuvuuia, arriving at twice (!) the previously reported endocranial volume.
This makes prefect sense, though, since the original estimate had been exceptionally small - and is all over the literature, unfortunately ...

“You are too cute to be a Carnotosaurus.” Ellie praises as she guides her wiggling son back to her breast. “Maybe a cute little Shuvuuia.”
Her son must agree because he bites her in his search for food. “Ouch Ty!” She groans.“See? A Shuvuuia that has reproduced and given me a cute little bitter.”
