      Yes! Of the reptiles that still exist today, Crocodiles and Alligators are closely related to dinosaurs. They have hardly changed at all in all that time. Also, all birds that exist today are descended from a mean looking dinosaur bird called an Archaeopteryx.

      Yep – most scientists agree that birds are a distant relative to flying dinosaurs.

      I can imagine a chicken as a velociraptor, beady eyes and ravenous appetite
