In the late Jurassic Period, 150 million years ago, the age of
TAKING OFF dinosaurs still had more than 80 million years to run. But already,
the first birdlike creatures were experimenting with flight. One of the earliest was Archaeopteryx,
a crow-sized relative of agile hunters like Velociraptor that had particularly long arms with birdlike
feathers. It was not exactly a bird, but it was close.
