*** Museum unveils bird-like dinosaur

[Garrison Hilliard <garrison@efn.org>]

DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Scientists have identified what may be the
most convincing evolutionary link yet between dinosaurs and birds: a
75 million-year-old creature with a roadrunner's body, arms that
resembled clawed wings, and thin, hair-like feathers. The Florida
Institute of Paleontology unveiled the first recovered skeleton of
the species - bambiraptor feinbergi - on Thursday. It is not clear
whether it could fly, but experts said that anatomically it is the
most bird-like dinosaur yet discovered. They said the finding
advances the increasingly popular theory that birds evolved from
dinosaurs. See
