Wacky bat-dinosaur found

Wacky bat-dinosaur found Featured

The first of its kind, a newfound wacky dinosaur sported bat-like wings with membranous tissue to help it glide through the Jurassic forests of what is now China some 160 million years ago.

The feathered dinosaur would have been about the size of a pigeon, weighing less than a pound (380 grams), and covered in feathers.

The researchers say the finding illustrates the many experiments in flight that occurred over evolutionary time and led to the origins of birds.

This creature, however, would have represented a failed flight experiment, they added.
