Follow us over to the PBS App or PBS.org to watch Walking with Dinosaurs!

How did dinosaurs become birds—and what good is half a wing? Join Joe and a few brave chickens as they recreate a brilliant experiment that helps solve one of evolution’s greatest mysteries: the origin of feathered flight.

Thank you to Dr. Jingmai O'Connor from Chicago's Field Museum for helpful discussions and background research
