Birds.
Some have suggested that birds may not actually be descended from dinosaurs at all (see related links). However this is not accepted in mainstream science as of yet and the link between bird and dinosaurs remains strong.

∙ 13y agoBirds are considered to be the descendants of dinosaurs. Evidence of this includes the hollow bones of both birds and dinosaurs, the nesting habits of both groups, and digestion aided by gastroliths(basically rocks inside the gastrointestinal track that aid digestion by further grinding up food) in the intestine. Genetic comparison between modern birds and the Tyrannosaurus Rex show that the two are more closely related to each other than either is to Alligators or other modern reptiles.
