Re: Sharovipteryx landing strategy
>>It would make sense, as I can`t see how this critter
would have landed on it`s feet otherwise, with all that
"wing drag" to the rear that it`s large uropatagium would
have presented.

The feet are much larger then that reconstruction shows
them, and they (the feet, that is) have long toes and webs
like the feet of a duck. With a little precision
ankle-control, might the Sharovipteryx been able to land
using just its feet?
Does David Peters know?
