Alt text:

An illustration of an Archaeopteryx with dark, glossy feathers, a reptile-like head, and outstretched wings. It is perched among green ferns.Overlaying the image is text that reads: "Archaeopteryx had three fingers on each wing and held its palms facing each other, implying it was capable of air quotes and, therefore, sarcasm."

In fact, one of their last utterances was recorded to be

"'oooh asteroids scary"'
