For over 150 years, birds, bats and pterosaurs were the only known vertebrate animals with flapping flight. Dr. Michael Pittman is a specialist in the study of flight evolution in dinosaurs. In this lecture, he will share recent research by his team showing that some bird-like feathered dinosaurs were also flapping flyers. Dr. Pittman will also discuss what these new findings mean for our understanding of flight evolution during the age of dinosaurs.
