Microraptor is a tiny tree-dwelling dinosaur that is closely related to today"s birds. Strangely, in addition to feathers on its arms, Microraptor had long plumes on its hind legs, making it look as though it had four wings! It may have used these wings and its feathered tail to glide from tree to tree, much as a modern flying squirrel does. Microraptor is an earlier, smaller relative of the much more famous Velociraptor.For over 25 years, Safari Ltd. has been proud to provide this premier line of scale model, dinosaur collectibles.
