Birds are the only dinosaurs alive today!
When the dinosaurs were wiped out around 65 million years ago, only the birds survived. Fossil records indicate that birds evolved from the theropod dinosaurs (the T-Rex was one of these) during the Jurassic Period.
Archosaurs
The archosaur group only has two living representatives – birds and crocodilians. The dinosaur were archosaurs too, and although alligators and crocodiles had ancestors which lived alongside the dinosaurs, they weren’t actually dinosaurs themselves.
Living Dinosaurs
Living dinosaurs are hypothetical non-bird creatures descended from the dinosaurs. There existence has never been proven, but several different dinosaur sightings have been reported in the Congo. However, no photographic evidence has been obtained, and no bones or bodies have been found to support this claim. There’s more chance of Bigfoot existing!
The term “living dinosaur” is also used to describe any extinct dinosaur that is rumored to still exist today – for example, if somebody said that they saw a triceratops whilst waiting for the bus, you could say that they saw a living dinosaur.
