Summary Introduction

To review:

Adaptations in birds for the flying mechanism.

Introduction:

The reptilia lineage diverged into two divisions: Lepidosauria (scaly lizards) and the Archelosauria (ruler turtle). Archelosauria includes two well-defined biological groups: Testudines (turtles) and Archosauria (crocodilians, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and birds). The remarkable presence of birds (Aves) took place in the Jurassic period.
