The closest living relatives to the Velociraptor are modern birds, particularly members of the group called theropods. Birds share many anatomical and physiological traits with dinosaurs, including feathers, hollow bones, and certain reproductive behaviors. Among birds, species like the ostrich or raptors (e.g., hawks and eagles) exhibit traits that reflect their ancient lineage. This connection highlights the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and contemporary avian species.

The bonobo is the closest living relative to humans. Chimpanzees are in a very close 2nd place.Often the chimpanzee is given as an answer, due to several reasons:1.

Bonobos used to be considered a type of chimpanzee (previously called a pygmy chimp). However, we learned more about them, and we now consider them their own distinct species.Please also note that both bonobos and chimpanzees are apes, not monkeys.


What was a dodo?

The dodo is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The dodo's closest genetic relative was the also extinct Rodrigues solitaire, the two forming the subfamily Raphinae of the family of pigeons and doves. The closest living relative of the dodo is the Nicobar pigeon. A white dodo was once thought to have existed on the nearby island of Réunion, but this is now thought to have been confusion based on the Réunion ibis and paintings of white dodos.
