It's Becoming Very Clear That Birds Are Not Normal

The video explores the discovery of Ichi, a unique dinosaur with membrane wings, challenging our understanding of the evolution of flight in dinosaurs. It discusses the Scansoriopterygids family, their arboreal lifestyle, and the evolutionary experiments in flight. The video compares feathered and membrane wings, highlighting the complexity of feathered wings and the simplicity of membrane wings, which have evolved multiple times across different species.

What unique feature did the dinosaur Ichi possess that was previously unseen in ancient bird relatives?

• Feathered wings

• Membraned wings

• Long tail

• Scaly skin

What lifestyle did the Scansoriopterygids, including Scansoriopteryx, likely have?

• Aquatic

• Terrestrial

• Arboreal

• Desert-dwelling

What was the primary function of the membraned wings in Ichi and its relatives?

• Swimming

• Gliding

• Powered flight

• Running

Why did the experiment of membraned wings in dinosaurs like Ichi likely fail?

• Climate change

• Lack of food resources

• Predation by larger dinosaurs

• Competition with feathered winged ancestors of birds

What makes membrane wings a common evolutionary feature across different species?

• Their size

• Their color

• Their simplicity

• Their complexity

Which type of wings are considered the most complex and unique in the animal kingdom?

• Insect wings

• Fish fins

• Feathered wings

• Membraned wings

If birds were to go extinct, what would be the impact on the skies of Earth?

• They would be empty

• They would be filled with membraned winged creatures

• They would remain feather-free

• They would be dominated by insects
