Mentoroitavia is a hypothetical genus of extinct avian dinosaurs that roamed during the late Cretaceous period. While its precise classification remains under investigation, paleontologists generally place it within the Paraves clade, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship with modern birds. Fossil evidence for Mentoroitavia has been scarce, primarily consisting of isolated bone fragments and a partial skeleton discovered in formations dating back approximately 70 million years.
The known skeletal features of Mentoroitavia indicate a creature of moderate size, likely comparable to a large
The discovery of Mentoroitavia, however limited, contributes to our understanding of avian dinosaur diversity in the
