Archaeopteryx (Archaeopteryx lithographica)

This page showcases illustrations of Archaeopteryx in various formats including png, svg, and ai. Archaeopteryx, a bird-like dinosaur, is considered the oldest known bird by paleontologists, bridging the gap between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern birds. With sharp teeth, clawed fingers, a long bony tail, hyperextensible second toes, and feathers, Archaeopteryx thrived during the Late Jurassic period in southern Germany and parts of Portugal. Despite their small size and broad wings, the flying capabilities of Archaeopteryx differ significantly from modern birds.
