Archæopteryx exhibits the features

of a full-fledged bird:

1 1. Its feathers show that it was a warm-
blooded creature able to fly.
2. Its bones are hollow, like those of
birds living today.

3. Its teeth represent no evidence that it
4 evolved from reptiles. Many toothed bird

2 species lived in the past.

4. There are bird species living today
5 that possess similar claws on their
3 wings.

5. The breastbone was observed in the
seventh Archæopteryx fossil found re-

cently. The presence of this bone shows
that just like present-day birds, it pos-
sessed powerful flight muscles.
