    Why do the background creatures look more like modern reconstructions than the creature in the foreground? Lmao

    How is it that we discover bones of a large flying creature, and first thought is “it looks mammalian, like a flying possum!” And then “nah, that’s ridiculous. It was a flying reptile! Like a DRAGON!”

    Large flying creature, and nobody thinks giant bird? Really?

      We already have birds. Give us flying possums or dragons.

      Apparently they were way more similar to bats than to birds.
