What kind of dinosaur is a bird?
Birds are a type of winged, feathered, theropod. They specifically belong to Maniraptora.
Do dinosaurs have bones?
Because they are closely related. Specifically, birds are dinosaurs belonging to the clade Maniraptora (alongside such dinosaurs as Velociraptor and Deinonychus), within the clade Coelurosauria. There are hundreds of skeletal similarities between birds and their maniraptoran relatives. One would expect closely related animals to show such similarities in their skeletons (and other features), just as our skeletons betray our kinship with the great apes, and primates in general.
What was a flying dinosaur called?
What most people think of when they hear the phase ''Flying dinosaurs'' is animals like Pteranodon, Quetzalcoatlus and Rhamphorhynchus and the like. Those were 'flying reptiles' contemporary with dinosaurs. Such flying reptiles were called pterosaurs and they are notdinosaurs.However there are and were actual 'flying dinosaurs'.There is now overwhelming evidence that modern day birdsare a type of theropod dinosaur. Therefore the phase 'flying dinosaur' applies to them.The one of the biggest differences between pterosaurs and actual 'flying dinosaurs', the birds, is that the wing of a pterosaurs is made of a membrane whilst bird wings are made of feathers.

What animal look like a dinosaur with sharp teeth?
If you mean living animals today, then MOST definitely other reptiles, and birds especially, as the birds evolved from THEROPOD dinosaurs - some theropod dinosaurs looked almost exactly like birds, where you could simply label them as birds. Try looking at an emu or a cassowary and compare it to a velociraptor and other feathered dinosaurs. Also, compare a chicken to the maniraptora dinosaurs. Look at their feathers, their feet and how they walk. The resemblances are stunning but shouldn't be surprising as birds arose from the maniraptoras. The Galapagos Tortoises, although not descendant of dinosaurs, have a good resemblance to the herbivorous, ornithischian dinosaurs, such as the ankylosaurus. Though tortoises sprawl and, unlike the dinosaurs, they don't walk upright. A Komodo dragon has that classical, dull brownish grey look of a dinosaur, though it sprawls. A chameleon has plates on its back, which are similarly seen in a stegosaurus (again, it sprawls, unlike the dinosaur). They say a T-Rex's bite and mouth was comparable to a crocodile's. Incidentally, a rhinoceros, which is a mammal like you and I, has a remarkable resemblance to a triceratops (the colour, the horns). Not to mention, both walk upright, UNLIKE the above reptiles I mentioned.
Are platypuses dinosaurs?

Are dinosaurs really sharks?
Sharks are Sharks and dinosaurs are dinosaurs. But there were animals recognizable as Sharks living when the dinosaurs did.
What was the offspring of dinosaurs?
Young dinosaurs would have been called hatchlings. If you are asking what evolved from dinosaurs, the only descendants of dinosaurs are the birds.
Were most dinosaurs carnivals or herbivores?
Most dinosaurs were herbivores. There was a wide variety or carnivorous dinosaurs, though, and all herbivorous dinosaurs evolved from the earliest carnivorous dinosaurs. Birds are descendants of carnivorous dinosaurs.
What made dinosaurs fly?
Dinosaurs never flew dinosaurs were land reptiles although some dinosaurs could swim
Were there other mammals with dinosaurs?
