TriviaEdit

• Alexornis, while depicted rather reasonably, has some possible inaccuracies that are inconsistent with the real findings of Enantiornithe birds. They include scaly feet (all feathered non-ornithurine dinosaurs with preserved foot integruments show that they had feet covered with feathers; some Enantiornithes even had Microraptor-like hindwings), scaly clawed fingers (Enantiornithes had fused fingers that supported the wing just as modern birds do, albeit with very large claws) and a beak-like snout (most toothed Enantiornithes had skulls akin to those of Archaeopteryx and other "normal" theropods, with actual snouts).
