S in o sau ro p teryx V elo cirap to r C au d ip teryx A rch aeo p teryx Confuciornis M o d ern B ird s A few million years later, diversity of birds Toothed birds with the hollow bones and breastbones necessary for sustained flight This theropod dinosaur had short arms and ran along the ground. Its body was covered with filaments that may have been used for insulation and that are the first evidence of feathers. This larger, carnivorous theropod possessed a swiveling wrist bone, a type of joint that is also found in birds and is necessary for flight. Recently discovered fossils of this theropod indicate that it is intermediate between dinosaurs and birds. This small, very fast runner was covered with primitive (symmetrical and therefore flightless) feathers. This oldest known bird had asymmetrical feathers, with a narrower leading edge and streamlined trailing edge. It could probably fly short distances.
