Birds are living dinosaurs. They are descended from fast-running carnivorous theropod dinosaurs.

They didn’t all become extinct 65 million years ago.

Why do birds HAVE to be dinosaurs? Isn’t it possible they are simply derivative of dinosaurs? I see a lot of difference, albeit I am no expert. Just an outsider observing the forest rather than the trees.

Reptiles have scales formed from skin folds.. Mammals have hair formed from follicles. Birds have feathers formed from follicles. Therefore dinosaurs are Mammals who latter devolved into birds who may actually be the for-runners of man who may some day reform feathers and fly. That's my story and I am sticking to it.
