Wonderful!!
But, Epidexipteryx had those arm feathers?

Reply

~Durbed Feb 12, 2012

Thanks!

The specimen arms were pretty bad preserved so they don´t show feather impressions, but since its close relative Scansoriopteryx show feathers in the 3rd finger its likely (if not sure) that Epi had them too. Phylogenetic bracketing. The wings make sense in a creature that seems designed to spend most of its time dwelling in trees...

but wouldnt they be problematic when it tries to grab insects through tree holes ?

~Durbed Jul 23, 2012

Yeah, that's why it most likely didn´t

the super long 3rd digit seems to be just some kind of climbing adaptation.

You just made this guy even cooler. But is it just me, or does its third finger look shorter than the actual thing?

Daily Deviations

JoyceHaving kicked the man in the balls and relieved him of his belongings, Joyce wasn't quite sure what to do next. She could run, but he might come after her the next minute. If she tied him up here, in the middle of nowhere, he might be eaten by wolves; or starve to death. Besides, she didn't have any rope. She could kill him... perhaps. The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.

'What am I to do with you?' she sighed.

'Well,' he groaned while giving her a look that sent shivers down her spine, 'You can run, but that won't help you, cause I will find you! So you just wait another few minutes until I get back up again - and I mean úp- and t
