Looks like a very large bat.

Baying at the moon, it looks like a DemonRAT moon BAT.

The hairs, previously theorised to have been feathers or protofeathers, consisted of “comparatively thick filaments, differing in structure from mammalian hair.”

“Now, what were they?” asks Kellner. “This is the point: (They were) a completely different structure that is not known in any living organism today.”

...completely different structure that is not known in any living organism on Earth today.

The more we learn about creatures prior to 65 million years ago, the stranger they become.

Yeah right...What’d they do, find a lip and create the rest of the critter from there and invent a history??? When you put a T after a P it doesn’t spell a word...Pterosaur...

Thanks decimon.

I tear a sore when I pull off the bandaid. Sometimes. Hey, it's late, and I'm not that funny when it's early.
A well-preserved pterosaur with soft tissues reveals this flying reptile had hair, claws and wings that were unlike anything seen on today's living animals... the remains, which date to around 140 to 130 million years ago, indicate pterosaurs were warm-blooded insect eaters that may have lived in trees and possessed sophisticated flying skills.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Hair, claws and wings? No comparison to any current species?

Isn’t this the time for the Helen Thomas photo.

Interesting, wonder if they might eventually discover they are related to modern day bats.
