No. Today's reptiles lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and the tuatara are not dinosaurs and, other than crocodiles, are not even closely related to them. Apart from birds, which are now known to have descended from small, carnivrous dinosaurs, dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years.
