Title: Weird and Wonderful Birds
Description: The first bird that existed in the world, about 140 million years ago, probably evolved from reptiles, was the Archaeopteryx, which perhaps had to use claws and wings to achieve what might be called a semi-flight. Many animals like Archaeopteryx became extinct, but others evolved so that today they show their true beauty and majesty. This book, profusely illustrated, includes a variety of them.
