Hi to all!
Here is your DRSA (Recommended Daily Science Amount). The topic? Pterosaurs (flying animals related to dinosaurians that gently became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous), and how they could take off.
Not that a sparrow-sized Pterosaur would be impressive, but the idea of one reaching the size of a giraffe and several hundreds of pounds is getting interesting! :)
Worth the look, especially if you don't wanna look dumb when your dinosaur-expert 5 year old will explain it to you...
