Is a Bird or a Dinosaur?

Many people believe dinosaurs went extinct billions of years ago, but this bird might just prove them wrong. Scientists have a compelling theory that modern birds, like this one, evolved from Theropods—a group of fierce dinosaurs closely related to the Tyrannosaurus rex. While this little guy is much smaller than his ancient ancestors, the resemblance is striking when you take a closer look

How can something so cute and friendly possibly share a lineage with such ferocious, flesh-eating creatures? It’s fascinating to think about the evolutionary changes that transformed massive predators into the small, chirping birds we see today.

Next time you see a bird, take a moment to appreciate its incredible journey through time. Who knew dinosaurs could be so adorable?
