An interesting fossil find was announced in China today. Paleoarcheologists have discovered a transitional species representing an earlier step in the evolution of some dinosaur lines to birds. This fossil (although there is no picture with this article) has feathers on the forelegs and tail, AND the hind feet, which possibly makes this a four-winged species. How that would work aerodynamically, I don't know, maybe the feet were drawn up to "fill in" a shallow wing set, but don't be fooled into thinking that this critter had two wings sprouting from each shoulder. That's not the structure here. Why fantasy illustrators always draw four-winged creatures like that, I don't know.
Then again they are FANTASY illustrators, not reality illustrators. Dur.
