Hello, there. I happened upon an fairly interesting bit of information this morning while taking a brief look about the web which I am certain SCIFIED's dinosaur lovers will find most compelling! I have a provided a link to the article below and I certainly hope you enjoy it should you choose to give it a look! :)

"...had flippers and could swim like a penguin..."? Huge jump to conclusion, we don't know if it actually could swim like that. And since it had such long legs, there would be much more drag.

Still, it' a nice find.

I thought you were going in this direction:

Halszkaraptor escuilliei appears to be an anomaly or a strange evolutionary link. given its estimated age, it appears to further support evolution. Thanks- nice find!

DK - I feel this little animal might very well have been a strange fluke of evolution, indeed! History is filled with them! :)
