Epidendrosaurus - Facts and Figures

Epidendrosaurus - Facts and Figures Name: Epidendrosaurus (Greek for reptile in the tree); articulated EP-ih-DEN-dro-SORE-us Living space: Forests of Asia Recorded Period: Late Jurassic (150 million years back) Size and Weight: Around 6 inches in length and a couple of ounces Diet: Likely omnivorous Recognizing Characteristics: Minuscule size; long arms with ripped at hands About Epidendrosaurus Archaeopteryx gets all the features, yet theres a persuading case to be made that Epidendrosaurus was the main reptile to be more like a flying creature than to a dinosaur. This slight theropod was not exactly a large portion of the size of its increasingly well known cousin, and its a definite wager that it was secured with quills. Most remarkably, Epidendrosaurus seems to have been adjusted to an arboreal (tree-abiding) lifestyleits little size would have made it a straightforward issue to jump from branch to branch, and its since quite a while ago, bended paws were likely used to pry creepy crawlies from tree husk. So was the late Jurassic Epidendrosaurus actually a winged creature as opposed to a dinosaur? Likewise with the entirety of the feathered dino-flying creatures, as these reptiles are called, its difficult to state. Its better to think about the classes of feathered creature and dinosaur as lying along a continuum, with certain genera closer to either outrageous and some smack in the center. (Coincidentally, a few scientistss accept that Epidendrosaurus ought to really be subsumed under another dino-flying creature variety, Scansoriopteryx.)
