OOP Mysteries and Inconsistensies - Thestrels

Hope no one has already answered this - I woke up this morning to 300 and
some new posts (having gone to bed last night all caught up with what had
already been posted). I didn't see the answer under this topic heading,
though, so here goes . . . 
 
 
Joywitch asked: "And why aren't thestrals mentioned in FBAWTFT?  (The
obvious answer 
is, of course, that JKR has made them up since she wrote it)"
 
Now me (Wendy):
 
The Thestrels ARE in Fantasic Beasts - they are in the section on Winged
Horses (the last page in the book). In fact, I was really proud of myself
for recognizing what they were when Harry first sees them after getting off
the train, because I remembered them from the other book. So she didn't
just spring them on us - she did give us lots of new details about them,
though.
