Hesperornis

Hesperornis was a bird-like dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It swam in ancient seas, and fossils have been found in places like Kansas and Canada. Unlike modern birds, it couldn’t fly but was likely a skilled swimmer, hunting in the water.

• Hesperornis fossils were discovered during the Bone Wars in the late 19th century.
• It lived in marine environments, such as ancient seas and coastal areas.
• Nine species of Hesperornis have been identified, mostly from North America.
