Description
Archaeopteryx lithographica
Named by Christian Erich Hermann Von Meyer, 1861
Diet: Piscivore/Carnivore (Prey included small fish, insects, and small animals such as the lizard Bavariasaurus)
Type: Maniraptorian theropod (avialae Archaeopterygidae) dinosaur
Size: 1.8 feet (0.5 meters) long and 2.2 lb
Region: Europe (Southern Germany)
Age: Late Jurassic (150.8 to 148.5 million BC; Early Tithonian)
Enemies: Ground-dwelling theropod dinosaurs such as Compsognathus.
Episode: Walking with Dinosaurs: Inside their World app
Original Version: vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/w…
Info: Long considered, until recent years with the discovery of earlier feathered avialae dinosaurs from China such as Anchiornis and Xiaotingia, to be the earliest member of the avialae clade (A clade of feathered theropod dinosaurs that include modern-day birds), the discovery of Archaeopteryx in the 1860's was famous, because due to its saurian appearance and the presence of bird-like feathers gives us the first unique glimpse into the evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and birds and it provided a strong support for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution he published On the Origin of Species: By Means of Natural Selection (1859), two years before the animal's description. In 2011, x-rays revealed that Archaeopteryx had black and white feathers.

Note: Based on and Gregory S. Paul (a little). Coloration based on a crow with white underside based on the recent discovery revealing the animal's true coloration.

And that complete's the Jurassic period and now we move on to the Cretaceous period and, SPOILER ALERT!, all this will end with the king: Tyrannosaurus rex.

On 11/12/2018, I updated it and gave it a shorter neck
