Now they’re they’re saying that Archaeopteryx could fly as well as a pheasant, but it was once thought to merely glide. Why, because it was, after all, a missing link, so it had to be only half bird — not very good at flying, but also not very good at being a dinosaur.
It’s true that Archaeopteryx had vertebrae extending out from the body into the tail, but so do
swans, and they’re certainly birds. Not to mention that penguins have bony tails as well.
