∙ 6y agoBecause birds share some of the same features as dinosaurs. Many dinosaurs had hip bones like a bird's, and look at the foot of a bird. It looks like the foot of carnivorous dinosaurs. Also, many dinosaur fossils have been found with feather imprints, proving their relationship.

∙ 8y agoThe skeletons of theropod dinosaurs are similar to those of birds. Some theropods had very bird-like anatomy and can be considered transitional fossils. We now know that many and possibly all theropods had feathers.

Did dinosaurs live Cenozoic era?
The general answer would be no, dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic. However, many scientists believe that modern birds, which have lived throughout the Cenozoic, are 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.
Why do scientists believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs?
Birds are thought to have evolved from bipedal dinosaurs.
If you sneezed in the dinosaur age what would happen?
Scientists believe that because dinosaurs didn't have the same viruses to combat as us, the modern common cold could make the dinosaurs extinct. =D
What was similar to both dinosaurs and birds?
Birds are more like dinosaurs to the extent that many scientists say that they are dinosaurs.
Are the dinosaurs that fly belong to dinosaur family?
Pterodactyls and Pterodons are not dinosaurs, but pterosaurs, an order of reptiles all its own. There are flying dinosaurs however; many scientists now agree that modern birds are, in fact, dinosaurs.
Why do some scientist believe that dinosaurs were warm blooded?
There are a number of indicators. Some dinosaur fossils show indications of an active lifestyle that a cold-blooded animal is unlikely to have. One dinosaur was found to have had a four-chambered heart, which is also found in mammals and birds, but not in modern reptiles.
Will dinosaurs ever exist again?
They still do. Many scientists consider modern birds to be dinosaurs. But it is unlikely that they will develop into anything resembling "classic" dinosaurs. Once a group of animals goes extinct it is gone forever.
Do dinosaurs have 2 tongues?
I don't think scientists have ever found a fossilized dinosaur tongue. However, there is no reason to believe they would have had two tongues, since no modern animals do. Additionally, birds evolved from dinosaurs and they only have one tongue, and it's not even forked. So, it's safe to say dinosaurs had a single, non-forked tongue.
Scientists believe that modern humans appeared during which epoch?
pleistocene
