Microraptor was a small 4 winged Dromaeosaurid from early cretaceous china. Microraptor has well preserved fossils, these fossils help scientists figure out the evolution of Birds. Microraptor fossils have shown its feather were most likely iridecent and black, sort of like a modern Crow. Microraptor could most likely fly better than Archaeopteryx because it had powered flight. Microraptor shows that Dromaeosaurids where first arboreal and as they evolved, became bigger and flightless. Microraptor probably grabbed its prey the same way modern hawks do.
