Why do scientists believe that birds evolved from dinosaurs?
Scientists believe birds evolved from dinosaurs because of several pieces of evidence, such as shared skeletal features, fossil records of "transitional" bird-like dinosaurs, and genetic similarities. These connections suggest that birds are the descendants of a group of small theropod dinosaurs.
What animal did scientists believe were most similar to dinosaurs?
The birds, having evolved from dinosaurs, are their closest living relatives. Crocodilians are the second closest relative of 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?
Technically scientists believe dinosaurs exsist in the form of birds and other reptiles. There are also crocodileswhich the oldest dinosaurs evolved into, so the dinosaurs really never went extinct!
Most scientists now believe that birds evolved directly from bipedal?
Theropod dinosaurs, based on fossil and genetic evidence. Theropods share skeletal and anatomical features with birds, suggesting a common evolutionary ancestor. This hypothesis is supported by discoveries of transitional fossils, such as Archaeopteryx, that exhibit characteristics of both dinosaurs and birds.
What was similar to both dinosaurs and birds?
Birds are more like dinosaurs to the extent that many scientists say that they are dinosaurs.
Is the extincion of dinos are real?
The scientists believe that dinosaurs were extinct.
Are dinosaurs monsters?
dinosaurs are monsters from the past. scientists believe dinosaurs lived 3.5 billion to 200 million years ogo
Did dinosaurs evolve into reptiles?
No. Dinosaurs evolved from reptiles. Birds evolved from dinosaurs.
Can scientists bring back dinosaurs?
No. However scientists have discovered that birds are in fact the descendants of dinosaurs (they did not all die out and their descendants evolved into birds). Thus there are in fact dinosaurs living in the wold today, just not big scary ones with sharp teeth!
Are chickens dinosaurs?
Chickens are birds, which scientists believe descended from the dinosaurs. So, in a way, yes, chickens are dinosaurs.
Are there any gigantic dinosaurs living today?
No, the dinosaurs are now all extinct, though some people believe that birds are evolved from dinosaurs and are their direct descendants.
