Many are known for long feathers on their legs and may have been semiarboreal powered fliers, some of which were even capable of launching from the ground. [5] Most microraptorians were relatively small; adult specimens of Microraptor range between 77–90 centimetres long (2.53–2.95 ft) and weigh up to 1 kg (2.2 lb), making them some of the ...
