👉 Chiropterygian is a scientific term that refers to a type of bird, which are characterized by their short legs and large wings. These birds have feathers on both sides of their body, allowing them to fly more easily than other birds. The wings are also used for flight, as well as providing protection from predators. Chiropterygians are also known for their ability to hunt with their feet, which is a unique adaptation that allows them to catch prey in the air.
