| abstract | - Scansoriopterygidae (meaning "climbing wings") is a family of maniraptoran dinosaurs, known from three well-preserved fossils unearthed in the Daohugou fossil beds (possibly dating to the mid-late Jurassic Period) of Liaoning, China. Scansoriopteryx (and its possible synonym Epidendrosaurus) was the first non-avian dinosaur found that had clear adaptations to an arboreal or semi-arboreal lifestyle–it is likely that they spent much of their time in trees. Both specimens showed features indicating they were juveniles, which made it difficult to determine their exact relationship to other non-avian dinosaurs and birds. It wasn't until the description of Epidexipteryx in 2008 that an adult specimen was known. The type specimen of Scansoriopteryx (type genus of the Scansoriopterygidae) and its arboreal adaptations were first presented in 2000 during the Florida Symposium on Dinosaur/Bird Evolution, at the Graves Museum of Archaeology & Natural History, though the specimen would not be formally described and named until 2002.
