Scientists have long debated whether this creature could fly or not, given its characteristics resembling both dinosaurs and modern birds. Recent X-ray scans of the fossilized skull, along with 3D computer modeling, have provided insights into its brain structure and inner ear, revealing similarities to modern flighted birds. This discovery sheds light on the evolution of flight in birds and adds to our understanding of the natural history of our planet.\n
