"Under the current system of classification, the answer is no, birds and reptiles are in different classes. This classification is based on a scheme that has been generally accepted for many years. Scientists today are pretty sure that what we now call birds evolved from a reptilian ancestor, and that feathers, a unique feature of birds, are actually just highly modified scales. Some would say that to separate birds and lizards is like separating bats from the class mammalia, just because they can fly." -Ken Burton on eNature.com
birds are not reptiles . they are included in a separate class called AVES. but birds have for sure evolved from reptiles. there is evidence in an ancient bird called archaeopteryx. it was a bird with reptilian features.
The univercity of Michigan, and I am sure others think the same, consider birds reptiles.
flying reptiles are in fact birds. as animals are now being classified into monophyletic groups, we must include birds as reptiles as well because they came from a common ancester
they both lay eggs.
Amphibians , reptiles , mammals along with birds are included in Tetrapod Vertebrates .
The animals that produce eggs are called oviparous, which means they lay eggs. Examples include birds, reptiles, amphibians, and various invertebrates like insects.
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.
No. Birds and reptiles are separate from amphibians.
There are certain birds that eat reptiles.
Reptiles are cold-blooded and birds are warm-blooded.
because birds and reptiles are reptiles and humans are mamals which makes use different! And birds are oviparous
Yes, birds and reptiles do lay eggs. Some reptiles, however, give birth to live young.
Birds are similar to reptiles. Both are vertebrates which lay eggs and breathe air.
N they are a seperate group like amphibians,mammals,reptiles,birds and fish
No. They are birds.
Because they can generate their own body heat - reptiles cannot and need a warm environment
Yes, mammals, birds and reptiles are all vertebrates.
No. Birds, fish and reptiles are each a classification of "vertebrates" of their own. They all have quite different characteristics.
no they are birds. it is split into 5 sectins mammals,reptiles, fish,birds,and anphibians. ducks are birds
