Just a quick question to anyone who has an opinion: Why is Scansoriopteryx
thought of as arboreal? What evidence is there?  (HP Jaime's post just
confused me even more: arboreal feet and terrestrial hands? Sounds more like
a percher than a climber.)

PS Does this animal (or Epidendrosaurus) have an SLC? (or any other evidence
of arm-folding ability)

Regards,
Michael Lovejoy
