🦖 Archaeopteryx took off with powerful jumps, not just wings

A new computer model suggests that Archaeopteryx likely achieved flight using two or three powerful leaps. This theory focuses on the early feathered animal from about 150 million years ago, which had dinosaur features.

This finding emphasizes that initial take-off force came from the legs, not solely the wings, as was previously thought. This suggests a gradual evolution path from dinosaurs to modern birds. 🦖
