Kingdom: Animal
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Chimera
Order: Mammavia
Family: Gryphonidae
Genus: Hippogryphus
Species: Aeetodactylus

Creatures in the family Gryphonidae come in many shapes and sizes, most commonly bringing to mind the griffon, the hippogriff, and the winged horse, or Pegasus. As is typical with the Chimera, there is a great deal of diversity within each genus, and oftentimes within the same species. This specimen has the front foot structure of the eagle, thus it has been classified as an Aeetodactylus Sp.

Haha, awesome! I love how you included the taxonomy X3 You did a very nice job on the skeleton, and from what I can tell, you've all the basic structures of quadrupeds - the shoulder/wing must've proven for some interesting work, eh? Heh. One question, though - are the ribs supposed to have small spines extending from them, or did you just include them for originality's sake?

Hee hee, thanks! :giggle: I had a lot of fun coming up with the classification names.

Ugh, yes the shoulder/wing configuration taught me why God did not give wings to quadrupeds! :laughing: I used a ton of references for the different skeletal parts. The front legs are actually from a Great Dane, lol! And yeah, birds' ribs really do have those funny protrusions on them. I'm such a geek, you should have seen me at Thanksgiving dinner, looking inside the turkey to try and see how the wishbone and everything fit together. :nerd:

Thanks very much! I worked really hard on this one because I didn't have a reference to use so I had to come up with it on my own. Thanks again! :D :hug:
