Apparently they were way more similar to bats than to birds.

How is it that we discover bones of a large flying creature, and first thought is “it looks mammalian, like a flying possum!” And then “nah, that’s ridiculous. It was a flying reptile! Like a DRAGON!”
Large flying creature, and nobody thinks giant bird? Really?

the wings were in structure, yes, but i don’t think basically anything else is even remotely similar to bats, maybe the fact that they were fuzzy but like… baby birds are fuzzy too a lot of the time

We already have birds. Give us flying possums or dragons.
