Caelestiventus hanseni’s advanced anatomy suggests that pterosaurs evolved early in the Triassic
The earliest known dinosaurs have a definite “prototype” vibe going on.

If a mouthful of meat has more calories than the same volume of veggies, how could the world’s biggest dinosaurs manage as herbivores?
Being gigantic is obviously awesome, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Beauty, and by extension coloration, is only skin deep.
No matter how badly you may want them, no matter how long you let you nails grow out, you will never grow claws.
Long before any mammals, dinosaurs or even fish existed on Earth, the most advanced forms of life looked a bit like single fern leaves growing along the sea floor.
You’ve probably never worried about this, but paleontologists have finally confirmed that dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex couldn’t french kiss.
While they were only eight centimeters long, the top predators of the early Cambrian period were dangerous from birth.
It was not terribly glamorous to be a mammal in the Mesozoic era.
It’s hard to study extinct animals with no surviving descendants, which is why researchers have had to use modern quail skeletons to prove that pterosaurs didn’t move like bats.
