Are archeopetryx amphibians

Answer 1

Nope. ^_^ Although they may have looked like amphibians, dinosaurs were reptiles. Also, not all reptiles back in their time were technically dinosaurs; for instance, pterodactyls (flying reptiles) and icthyosaurs (swimming reptiles) were not in the dinosaur family. The reason for this is that you had to have a special kind of hip joint to be a dinosaur - there were actually two kinds, called bird-hips and lizard-hips. Anyway, you could tell by looking at how the animal walked if it posessed these hips - and thus, if it was a dinosaur or not - by looking at how it walked. If it walked with its knees directly underneath its hip or elbow joints, then it was a dinosaur. For instance, chickens, humans and dogs walk like this. If it walked any other way - for instance, if it walked with its elbows splayed out to the sides like how a salamander walks - then it was not. Hope that helped! ;D

Answer 2

Dinosaurs are definitely not amfibians, they were thougt to be reptiles. According to recent scientific research dinosaurs were warmblooded, in contrary to reptiles. Dinosaurs are more related to birds than reptiles.

Answer 3

The term 'dinosaurs' refer to any of numerous extinct terrestrial reptiles of the Mesozoic era - ergo, they were not amphibians.

Answer 4

Archaeopteryx were not amphibians. They were reptiles that were closely related to the earliest birds. In fact, they shared more in common with modern birds than with modern reptiles.
