u,mmm.....I'm having trouble forming that image. think you could provide a sketch or a drawing of it, to help the rest of us along?
(even a cartoon)

I wasn't actually advocating the idea that _Archaeopteryx_ climbed trees like a goat. No way Jose. All I was doing was underscoring how vague and potentially misleading the word "arboreal" can be. The term really has to be put into a context in order for it to be meaningful.
