With its blend of avian and reptilian features, Archaeopteryx is considered to be the earliest known bird. It lived during the Jurassic, 150 million years ago, in present-day Germany. Archaeopteryx was about the size of a raven and had well-developed wings and a long-feathered tail. Based on these anatomical features, experts believe that Archaeopteryx had some aerodynamic capabilities and could, therefore, fly.
