If they weren't stupid, they would still be alive
(I still think they're really cool, I'm just mad they aren't around anymore and misdirecting that frustration toward them)
one lineage of dinosaurs survived the mass extinction because they were small, could fly and some other things. you might know them as "birds"
They are still alive. There's more dinosaurs than humans on this planet. My favorite is the secretarybird.
My favorite is the secretarybird. They're gorgeous, tall, they can fly, they kick snakes to death and then eat them, what's not to love?
My favorite extinct dinosaur is the microraptor, a relative of deinonychus that had four (!) wings. Two pairs, one on its forelimbs like modern dinosaurs and one on its hindlimbs. Most people draw them like four-winged crows with teeth, which is great because crows are also crazy smart and probably some of the smartest animals besides humans and maybe chimps. They know how to use cars to break open nuts by dropping them onto an intersection and they wait for the lights to change before they fly back down to collect the spoils. I'm typing so fast that autocorrect almost can't keep up now so I'll stop for now
Edit: apparently autocorrect wasn't quite keeping up
Call me basic or whatever but I adore the Utahraptor. Largest known dromaeosaurid? Sign me up! Even though it could tear me apart. Kinda like I will to whoever says dinosaurs are stupid.
