First bird

Archaeopteryx, means "Ancient wing" is a prehistoric bird that lived in Europe during Jurassic period.Archaeopteryx is considered by many to be the link between dinosaurs and birds. It had teeth and claws, but it also had feathers and wings. Archaeopteryx was first discovered in 1860 in Bavarian lithographic limestone quarries. Since that time, only five other specimens have been uncovered, with the best specimens being at the Humboldt Museum in Berlin and the British Museum.One of the Archaeopteryx fossil is stolen more than 20 years ago and from now, the stolen fossil never be found again.
