Crocodiles and certain sharks are the only species of dinosaurs still left from millions of years ago.

Sharks are fish, they have no bones and use cartilage instead. No relation to dinosaurs (Reptiles.)

Dinosaurs aren't reptiles. They're birds.

BS it does! It's my topic and I want my topic here in Chat where everyone can access it. Also you can easily start your own topic down there if you like. Those who you've banned plus myself will stay here where we can just talk freely.

I have a 5 year old boy, I win this thread

This is just what was within reach in 10 seconds

Bingo! Gordy could you ask him ( as he's only just a tender aged 5 kid) .... if he finds dinosaurs scary or awesome.

He'll no doubt look at you and say "awesome" with a huge grin.

I recall the very first animal book we bought our kids. It was made of plastic so it could be used whilst they sat in their high chair eating away making a huge mess with their fingers and food OR in their bath.

The animals were all cute and cuddly as we turned each page going from 1 letter to the next. The second the page turned to T for T Rex everything stopped. But only for our boys. It was as though they had seen Santa Claus on his sleigh.

"Awwww T REX I love you too many" <--- invariably followed.

A few times in fact. And we couldn't continue on with the rest of the alphabet. The book had to stay right there at that page.

The fascination with dinosaurs was something only our boys were ever able to understand and display.

The girls? It was always L for Lamb for P for Puppy etc.

I'll answer that with a photo

That's what I was basically taught.

But as you know scientific theories change over time and it's because of our kids that I'm now learning that well .... the official line has changed. Dinosaurs have evolved and our modern day birds were once dinosaurs.

Who knows what they'll say about dinosaurs in another 20 years? It's all very interesting though....how science knowledge changes just within a single generation.

Interesting you should say that. That's what I was basically taught back in the day (Uni).

It's all changed now and apparently our current day birds were once prehistoric dinosaurs.

In fact that's why we bought a bird. It's the descendant of a dinosaur.

You would NOT have been told sharks are dinosaurs! Sharks are Pisces, dinosaurs were reptiles! E.g. sharks have gills, dinosaurs had lungs.

Just to show i am right:

Quote:

Most scientists believe that sharks came into existence around 400 million years ago. That's 200 million years before the dinosaurs! It's thought that they descended from a small leaf-shaped fish that had no eyes, fins or bones. These fish then evolved into the 2 main groups of fish seen today.7 Nov 2018

Shark Evolution

fish > amphibians > reptiles
