Well, the only species notable for being in the era of the dinosaurs that are still around today are crocodiles and sharks.

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.

I heard chickens are closest to dinosaurs than any other animal

All birds are dinosaurs, not just the backyard chook!

Warmblooded dinosaurs covered with feathers—as were some of the later dinosaurs. Feathers are just fancy scales—all reptiles have scales.

Crocodiles and alligators appeared towards the end of the era of dinosaurs—they are close to dinosaurs. Snakes also arose near the end of the dinosaur era.

What for? For when it's needed.

When was the last time it was used? I'll have a look in my diary and let you know. Would you like the date and the time also?

Update :

Yep. Over dinner tonight hubby and the kids were going on about birds, chooks and how their ancestors were dinosaurs.

UnSub, hubby was also taught at Uni as I was... that dinosaurs were reptile affiliated. It all apparently changed in the mid 90's.

Our kids can't believe how silly we were to think dinosaurs were linked to reptiles <--- the little $hits have been making fun of us lol

Of course dinosaurs were reptiles!

They didn’t live in water so weren’t fish!

They did not have to lay their eggs in water so they weren’t amphibians!

Crocodiles and alligators rose out of the dinosaur “family” and they are reptiles.

Look at the fossilised skin imprints of dinosaur skins and the skin of alligators—all have skin made from scales as do snakes and as do turtles and tortoises.

I am laughing at the old, fat idiot trying to cover for linking sharks (fish) and dinosaurs (reptiles.)

Dinosaurs were indeed a class of reptile.

Once again, another of Larry's lies busted.
