150 million years ago the air
was full of flying reptiles, some of which were called Pterodactyls,
but there were no birds. But today, through extensive research,
it is now virtually proven that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
This was established by the discovery of fossils such as
Archaeopteryx, which was the size of a crow and was found
in Germany and dated 150 million years old (The Jurassic).
Since the discovery of Archaeopteryx there have been other
finds which have filled in the missing link between Archaeopteryx
and dinosaurs which have shown evolving birds with both scales
and feathers, it also seems that birds evolved from the species
of dinosaur which led to the development of the ones called
Raptors, you know the ones in the film "Jurassic Park" which
kept eating everybody, and not from the Pterodactyls as was
first thought.
