Yi Qi

Discovered in China and formally described only in 2015, Yi is one of the most bizarre dinosaurs ever found. Its name means "strange wing" in Mandarin — and strange is an understatement. Rather than feathered wings like its relatives, it had long, rod-like wrist bones that supported a membrane wing, more like a bat or flying squirrel than a bird!
