Re: origin of bats/reply 2 to TMK
So while this tells us that Vel had feathers, it does not tell us it had
wings. Unless we use a definition of wing to indicate anything that sticks
out with feathers attached to it, which should therefore be true of
*Microraptor*'s feet, and the tails of a good variety of fossil taxa like
*Caudipteryx*. In which case, they were 3- to 5-winged animals, not
4-winged.
By "wing" I mean "wing feathers" -- remiges. Ostriches have wings...
