How and why did reptiles start to fly?

Dr Corwin Sullivan is an Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta, Canada. Along with studying the origin of birds and flight, Dr Sullivan researches the diversity, evolution and functional morphology of fossil vertebrates, especially dinosaurs.

How did feathers evolve? Why did feathered dinosaurs take to the air & how did they figure that out?

MARK from Evolution Soup talks all things birds, flight & feathers with Dr Sullivan in a fully illustrated by the art of PBS Eons contributor, Julio Lacerda (thank you to Julio for his kind permission to use his amazing work!).
