Flying Animals: Winging It

How is a clam like a polar bear? Neither has wings, so neither can fly! But lots of other animals do have standard flying equipment — wings. Some are flying birds, some are flying mammals (bats), and some were flying reptiles (pterosaurs) that became extinct more than 60 million years ago. Even though these creatures may look different, their wings have a lot in common.
