    Birds and bird transition species are theropod dinos. Dinos = Archosaur = reptiles. Yes. Birds are by classification reptiles. (De Jure) . There was also pterasaurs which were reptiles

    they use drone, and make a lot of footage and take the most perfect one. And for the lizard, that what we called, ability. Maybe for the lizard, 30 feet jump is like 1 inch jump for us
