Cryptobiology* in Driftwood Art
Bats and Gliders - Descendants of the Pterodactyl

Likeness of a Pterodactyl fossil in driftwood

Evolutionists of natural history argue over
     the post-evolution of the Pterodactyl,
after the fateful end of the dinosaurs,
     hoping to probe it's living today still.

Lacking feathers, but leathery wings instead,
     like the bat, the only true flying mammal,
are the gliders - the lemur and flying dragon,
     neo-pterodactyls we may also call.

Ever continuing search for fossils unfolds
     mysteries too far out in the past,
leaving behind the quaintness and beauty 
     of Nature's art - mystic and vast. - avr

Pterodactylus is a genus of extinct pterosaurs. It is thought to contain only a single species, Pterodactylus antiquus, which was the first pterosaur to be named and identified as a flying reptile and one of the first prehistoric reptiles to ever be discovered. Wikipedia

Cryptobiology: Study of creatures around myths and beliefs 
*Cryptobiology is the study of cryptids, creatures around which myths exist but whose current existence has never been verified. Some famous cryptids include bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, and the chupacabra. Cryptids are elusive creatures that dance on the fringes of human perception, whose existence has not been proven by science, but has been reported by many eye-witnesses. Modern science has proved the existence to creatures that existed only in imagination and fantasy.
