I’m fascinated by the odd survivors of past ages…like those ancient fish (coelocanths), and the plant survivors (like the cycads and the ginkos). What of the birds? Are there any modern archaeopterix-type birds still around? With scale-like feathers and teeth? I was at the beach last week, and while walkingnthe shore,I came across a horshoe crab…man, what an ancient looking creature! Makes you wonder…are there any undiscovered survivors from the past stillout there?
I think the hoatzin is the nearest you’d get. It has claws on its wings.
