How many other birds have used their legs for this? TheCrownless Send a noteboard - 29/09/2009 05:37:06 PM

I don't see a mechanically problem here, nothing too weird about tiny little wings being used as rudders.

Maybe if you're a fish.
They normally use tail feathers for those kind of things, I've never seen a bird or anything close use their legs as "rudders". Feel free to point something out, I dont pretend to know every animal thats ever existed, it just seems overly complicated and goes back on itself, which doesn't follow most evolutionary principles, thats all.

Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'm Israel, he's Palestine, its more fun when you pick sides.

Neat, but didn't National Geographic get fooled by a "winged dinosaur" a while back? Mad Cow Bomber - 29/09/2009 02:12:07 PM 749 Views

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?! TheCrownless - 29/09/2009 04:54:14 PM 716 Views
It's suggesting they used the rear two for lift, just little winglets. Isaac - 29/09/2009 05:09:03 PM 654 Views
