Does anybody have any idea how many fossil birds have been found to-date? I think there are 70 genera so far but the number of individual specimens elludes me.
Thanks
Referring to the relation between birds and dinosaurs: If we get a new extinction and the only mammals who survive is the bats, who will in 65 million years believe, that the bats is related to blue w...
