Thanks, dizzy! I remember that whenever I go to find it.

    I have an idea as to why a lot of the dragons are depicted as having four feet and two wings when none of the dinosaurs found so far had those. Pterosaurs had only two legs and two wings, but they had the fingers in the middle. Fossilized tracks show that they walked on all fours, using the fingered part of the wings as the front two feet, like modern bats do. People who happened to see a pterosaur on the ground saw it walking on all fours, but the ends of the wings jutting upward. Since dragons were dangerous, those who saw a pterosaur probably didn't stick around long enough to find out if it really had two front legs.
