Re: Tiny dinosaurs



>>
here's a picture of a recently discovered related bat even smaller than
the 'bumble bee bat'  -Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat (Craseonycteris
thonglongyai)M<<

Ah, here is something interesting.
Could C. thoglongyai be the modern counterpart of Liaoxiornis delicatus?  They
are both small, flying insectivores so there could be a comparison.  Question:
What are the habits of the bat?  Another Question: Do the wings of L. delicatus
indicate that it was an active, agile hunter of insects (like bats), or was the
bird more cursorial?
