Just some fun dinosaur news for you.
Researchers in China and the UK say they have discovered the fossils of a new type of flying reptile that lived more than 160 million years ago. The find is named Darwinopterus, after famous naturalist Charles Darwin.
Experts say it provides the first clear evidence of a controversial type of evolution called modular evolution.
The 20 new fossils found in north-east China show similarities to both primitive and more advanced pterosaurs, or flying reptiles.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Can’t really go wrong with dinosaurs.

Darwin was a naturalist, huh? I had no idea. Maybe he was exploring the Galapagos Islands in order to set up a nudist colony there.
