Monkeydactyl may be the oldest known creatures with opposite thumbs

 The Monkeydactyl is a very interesting topic. As we know, a monkey is a modern day creature that we usually think of a brown, and can climb in trees. The Monkeydactyl is similar to the monkey, in the fact that it could probably climb trees, in order to get the insects and food they needed to survive. Monkeydactyl's fossil remains, unearthed, in China. This animal discovery may help scientists find out more about our past, so we can learn from it and make adjustments to what we may need in the future. Do you think learning about the past is essential in order for scientists to make changes to help us prepare for the future?

  1. It's crazy how there are so many species of animals that lived many many years ago that we are still discovering today. To answer the question, yes, I do believe that it is essential to learn about our past so we can prepare for the future. Also, I googled to monkeydacyl and it's lowkey kind of scary looking.

  2. I never would have thought that there was an extinct creature that was this similar to a monkey, but could fly too. I also think that it is essential because it helps scientists to believe that there might be even more creatures like this that they still have not found.
