SERPENTS THAT HAD THE WINGS OF A BAT
_________________
Herodotus, respected Greek historian who lived in approximately 450 B.C., once wrote:
“There is a place in Arabia…to which I went, on hearing of some winged serpents; and when I arrived there, I saw bones and spines of serpents, in such quantities as it would be impossible to describe. The form of the serpent is like that of a water-snake; but he has wings without feathers, and as like as possible to the wings of a bat (n.d., emp. added).”
Herodotus recognized that such creatures were not birds, mammals, or insects—but reptiles with wings.
