strange bird

A new fossil, named "Attenborough's strange bird" after naturalist and documentarian Sir David Attenborough, is the first of its kind to evolve a toothless beak.

It's from a branch of the bird family tree that went extinct in the mass extinction 66 million years ago, and this strange bird is another puzzle piece that helps explain why some birds -- and their fellow dinosaurs -- went extinct, and others survived to today.

In a paper in the journal Cretaceous Research, scientists have described a new species of fossil bird that was the first of its kind to evolve toothless-ness; its name, in honor of naturalist Sir David Attenborough, means "Attenborough's strange bird."

But "Attenborough's strange bird" bucked this trend.

If you’re settled after watching that, you are one strange bird.
