Did birds used to be wingless dinosaurs?
The earliest birds had wings; they evolved from feathered, winged dinosaurs. However, the ancestors of those winged dinosaurs did not have wings.
Did dinosaurs with wings have teeth?
No dinosaurs had wings (unless you consider Archaeopteryx a dinosaur, which you could, but usually it's considered the first bird and removed from the dinosaur superorder). Pterosaurs, flying reptiles, had wings and flew. Nearly all of them (that we know of) had teeth.
Was the Pterodactyl a bird?
No dinosaurs had wings. You are thinking of Pterosaurs, the most famous being Pterodactylus and Pteranodon.Edit: '''No dinosaurs had wings.''' That statement is wrong.There are around 10,000 species of dinosaur alive today with wings, we call them birds. There are many fossils of maniraptorian dinosaurs that show wings.The basal bird Archeopteryx, the dromeosaur Microraptor and the troodontid Anchiornis are some examples.The famous Velociraptor had quill knobs on its ulna, which show that it too had ''wings''.Wings in dinosaurs are only found in the theropod group, maniraptora.If your thinking of pterosaurs like Pterodactylus and Pteranodon then those are not considered dinosaurs.
How did Dinosaurs move?
with there legs or wings depending on what dinasour they were (Y)
Is a dragonfly a decendent of dinosaurs?
Answer:No, the dragonfly is not a decendent of dinosaurs. There's no way the decendents of dinosaurs can gradually develop an extra set of wings, a change in body shape, a change from vertebrate to invertebrate etc.
Do dinosaurs attack birds?
No. Birds and dinosaurs were not contemporaneous; that is, they didn't exist at the same time. In fact, we are coming to believe that modern birds may be the evolutionary descendants of dinosaurs! So just remember, those chicken wings come from highly-evolved dinosaurs!
Does Tyrannosaurus Rex means tooth without wings means?
no, it means tyrant lizard king in latin. tooth without wings would not be a good choice for a description. most dinosaurs had teeth but no wings.
What do you call a lizard with wings?
A pterosaur is a winged dinosaur. They are the first of the vertebrate dino-critters that achieved powered flight.Wikipedia has additional information, and a link is provided.EDIT: NO pterosaurs are NOT dinosaurs.There are dinosaurs alive to day with wings. We call them Birds.Wings evovled in the group of theropod dinosaurs called Maniraptora.The big difference between pterosaurs and flying dinosaurs (birds) is that the wing in pterosaurs is made of a fleshy membrane whereas the wings in flying dinosaurs are made of feathers.
Why does the albatross have such a huge wing span?
because they are big like dinosaurs and their wings make the albatross realy big
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.
How did chickens get their wings?
Umm..... Chickens are kind of born with wings... But people think in some way that chickens were related to dinosaurs. Well the flying ones I should say. Maybe you should look up the history of flying dinosaurs and then look up a chicken. It might help you quite a bit
Extinct reptile with birdlike beak and huge wings for gliding?
There were several types of ancient reptiles that flew. Most famously the pterosaurs such as pterodactyl (Pterodactylus) were the 1st vertibrates to evolve flight.Also it is quite likely that some species of the Dromaeosauridae family of theropod dinosaurs flew. They were later to evolve into birds. Infact the simularity between Dromaeosauride species and birds have led some scientist to argue for reclassification to birds.
