Birds don’t look like the scaly giants of Jurassic World. But fossils are revealing how these modern-day dinosaurs descended from ancient reptiles.

    Strangely enough, we seem to forget the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae](Terror Birds were a thing).

    Just look at a chicken. They are just waiting for an opportunity to bring those recessive genes back.

      Cassowaries still exist.

      That’s a dinosaur. It even has a funny bone ridge like half of the herbivorous classic kids favorites.

        I’ll gladly admit cassowaries are 1) awsome 2) scary 3) capable and willing to kill a human but they are not on the same category birds of terror were.

        Yes, cassowaries are modern dinossaurs, as in birds, but not birds of terror.

    My understanding is that this headline has been pretty much accepted as official by biologists for some time now, to the point where “non-avian dinosaurs” has become a common term for the extinct animals. So it’s totally correct to say things like “I’m just going to the park to feed the dinosaurs”
