How did dinosaurs hatch their eggs?
Fossil dinosaurs nests have been found with dinosaurs sitting on their nests like birds do. This is not surprising as our modern day birds are descended from raptor dinosaurs.
When you compare the dinosaur fossil to modern day vertebrates what does it most resemble?
Dinosaurs most resemble birds and reptiles but mainly birds because birds evolved from dinosaurs.
The connection from dinosaurs to modern day birds?
they have the same bones and some had feathers
Are dinosaurs ex stinkend?
Yes, all dinosaurs are extinct. But, their modern-day ancestors, reptiles and birds, live on.
Why do scientists believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs?
Birds are thought to have evolved from bipedal dinosaurs.
Are dinosaurs exint?
NO! Many scientists believe that dinosaurs evolved into modern day birds. In addition, some reptiles and fish were living with the dinosaurs, such as the crocodile, and have remained virtually unchanged.
Do dinosaurs still live to this day?
Dinosaurs as most people think of them are completely extinct. However, birds evolved from dinosaurs, and as such, are considered to be a group of dinosaurs. Since birds are still alive today, so are some dinosaurs. No dinosaurs other than birds are alive today, though.
What made scientists think birds and reptiles were related?
Scientist think that birds are related to dinosaurs because as you study the fossilised bones of certain therapod dinosaurs especially dromaeosaurs you start to notice many similarities between them and modern day birds. The famous archeopteryx for example, which is historically considered the first bird, looked very much like a bird but still had claws on its wings and had a mouth full of teeth. Other dinosaurs from the same time period look even more like birds. In fact experiments done on modern day bird embryos show that if you play around with the genes of birds you can engineer dinosaur features such as teeth, long dinosaur tails etc. All the key features that people associate with birds developed when they were still dinosaurs. Dinosaurs had feathers, dinosaurs had oval shaped eggs, dinosaurs had beaks. The morphology of birds is so similar to some dinosaurs that scientist are starting to consider birds as not just related to dinosaurs but actually as avian dinosaurs.
How did a dinosaur fly?
Dinosaurs evolved to be much like the modern day birds. They developed wings with feathers and eventually, by evolution, they flew.
Why do people think some dinosaurs where apart of the bird species?
because some dinosaurs like the velociraptor have been discovered with feathers. and even some dinosaurs in there bone structure have the shape of birds. like the t-rex has the hip structure of a lizard and the velociraptor had the hip structure of a modern day bird
Did people hunt dinosaurs?
Not dinosaurs as we traditionally think of them. "Classic" dinosaurs went extinict long before any people were around. However, scientists now know that one group of dinosaurs lives to this day: birds. Birds of various types have long been hunted by humans.
Is a direct living descendant of dinosaurs a parrot or an alligator or a dragonfly or a hippo?
The Parrot would be the direct ancestor of the Dinosaur. The therapod line is believed to be the line that turned into our modern day birds. There are many similarities between therapods and our modern birds. There is some debate on this theory still but there are many who believe that the birds are direct descendants of the dinosaurs
