(Attenborough) :

"Ah, yes. Here we have a real treat. Long before the moment we see here, the Philosoraptor imbued the ancient world with contemplative and edifying clarity. Then, after 75 million years or so, a new challenger arose to do more than question reality, it gifted the natural world with a completely new concept: sarcasm.

Yes, the incomparable Sarcaeopteryx was uniquely poised to wield such a nuanced skill, and over far greater distances than its predecessor had. For, in the 75 million years that the Philosoraptor was dying out, it went on to evolve not only feathered wings, but elegantly expressive digits to gesticulate with as well.

One might even say that she was the prehistoric world's first Sultana of Snark, with such a bite on the tail of her remarks."

A rare excuse for me to share this outrageously cute and catchy kids educational video about Archaeopteryx that I've been a fan of for years:
