What else can I help you with?
What reptile feature evolved into feathers?
Yes. Birds are animals that have feathers.
Are birds the only animals that have feathers?
Yes, as in the only living animals, they are. However, feathered dinosaurs, the ancestor of birds, also had feathers.
What are the animals that are covered with feather?
All of the animals currently living on Earth that have feathers are birds, and all birds have feathers. There are fossil indications that at least some dinosaurs had feathers when they were young.
The connection from dinosaurs to modern day birds?
they have the same bones and some had feathers
Why do some scientist believe that dinosaurs were the primogenitors of the modern birds?
Scientists have found a number of fossils of theropod dinosaurs with anatomy remarkably similar to that of birds. Many dinosaurs are now known to have had feathers.
What group of vertebrates is the only one with feathers?
While the birds are the only currently living animals (specifically vertebrates) with feathers, the fossil record clearly shows that some species of the reptiles (specifically the dinosaurs) had feathers (and these are the ancestors of the birds).
What the different between dinosaurs and birds?
While birds and dinosaurs share many similarities, the key differences lie in their skeletal structures. Dinosaurs have a more primitive structure, with separate openings for breathing and eating, while birds have a more advanced respiratory system that allows for efficient airflow. Additionally, birds have evolved lightweight bones and feathers for flight, traits that are not found in dinosaurs.
Are hens dinosaurs?
Yes (WITH A BIG MAYBE ATTACHED) The difference between certain therapod dinosaurs and birds is very small. Every feature we use to describe birds (beak, feathers, wings) first evolved on dinosaurs. In fact the morphology between birds and the raptor family of therapod dinosaurs is so similar many scientists to call birds avian dinosaurs.
What order of dinosaurs did birds evolve from?
Birds evolved from a group of Saurischian dinosaurs known as theropods. The theropods include dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus, Velociraptor, and Deinonychus. Theropods were predators who walked on two feet and had relatively small arms. Some of these dinosaurs were small and started growing feathers, at first to keep warm. Eventually these feathers became adapted for flying.
How are birds and dinosaurs closely related?
Birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs and are considered by many to be dinosaurs. Birds emerged in the later Jurassic period, branching of from a group of dinosaurs called theropods, two legged animals that accounted for all carnivorous dinosaurs. Many theropod dinosaurs show birdlike traits (including feathers on many species), particularly dromaeosaurs such as velociraptor.
Example of macroecolution?
An example of macro-evolution is the appearance of feathers during the evolution of birds from theropod dinosaurs.
Do most animals cover their body with feathers?
No, most animals are insects and have shells. Only birds have feathers.
