Flying reptiles of today is a bit of a misdemeanour in that they glide rather than flap but flight is still flight no matter the mechanics Expand Lets start by saying the evolution of reptiles to birds is all assumptions based on guesses. 65 million years ago an extinction event occurred that killed off nearly all of the cold blooded creatures on this planet. This is a fact based on evidence, Now for the guess work, it is believed that one small group of dinosaur's survived because they had developed inter locking scales, like the pangolin of today, These scales trapped air and so insulated them from the cold, But this would mean that they had also become warm blooded, Again the assumption is that these scales then went on to change into feathers. I thought you only believed in facts mate, There are no hard facts to back this up, only theories and suppositions, Yes animals can adapt to changing environment's but only at a very slow pace, The extinction event was instantaneous, Given the hot humid environment prior to this event, Why would any reptile evolve to become warm blooded as there was absolutely no need for it to do it, There theory of Evolution is based on changes over a very long period and always to gain something that's needed to survive, Link to post Share on other sites
