One only has to be attacked by a rooster to be convinced they're descended from raptor dinosaurs. They attack exactly the same way raptors are thought to have attacked their prey. They use their clawed feet the same way by attacking with them first then, using their beak to peck & bite, while their claws are ripping into your flesh. A rooster can do a huge amount of damage really quickly. They truly exhibit their dinosaur heritage. If they had a long tail, teeth lining the edges of their beaks & a sickle claw on one toe, they would literally be small feathered dinosaurs. In fact, that is exactly what they are. They just don't have obvious reptilian features but, if you really look at them & study their behaviour it's easy to see the dinosaur.

Great history of the study. Walter is a legend

Someone did some "digging" to find this vid with Walter Cronkite narrating. By his appearance, this is after he retired from network news. Durn, I was on my 1st service tour, I think.

The time of the dinosaurs was also a time of incredible amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. This is why all the large dinosaurs.

Love Walter Matthau! This should be great!

You don't have just believe it. Nowadays, the overwhelming consensus of evidence shows that birds are the last living dinosaurs and birds are dinosaurs in the same way we are mammals! The public perception of dinosaurs as slow moving lizards is predominantly wrong. They were advanced reptiles with 2 of the major groups retained the omni-directional avian respiration system. Feathers originated in Non-bird Dinosaurs and were wide spread throughout the vast majority of the bipedal Therapod group, everything from the simple to complex feathers and even wing feathers on non-flying dinosaurs like the closely related maniraptoran group, they had wish bones and some had talons on their feet. Many non-bird therapod dinosaurs such ovaraptors and ornithimimus sat on clutches of eggs like modern birds. You would have struggled to tell the earliest bird from a velociraptor, aside from the flight. I encourage you to check out the UK paleontologist Darren Naisch's books on Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Planet on Apple TV

saying birds "descended" from dinosaurs is like saying T-rex, velociraptor, Triceratops "descended" from dinosaurs because there were birds already back in the late cretaceous 😂

@@ragingtomato04 I’m saying that today’s birds are descended from the big extinct reptile dinosaurs, but your right though. Birds were here when the big Dinos were around even though birds are dinosaurs too

During my study of Geology at Heidelberg University in the 80s, we always spoke of Archaeopteryx as the Dino Bird, or the Bird Dino.... depending on the standpoint, how much closer to a bird or a dinosaur this creature was... now it obviously is more a proto aves (early bird)

What about the Hoatzin bird from the Amazon? It sure looks like a dinosaur. Also, a small herd of horses I cared for were trapped in a corner by a ferocious grass eating flock of Canadian geese once. The horses wouldn’t leave their corner until I chased away the geese.

This is the last program that featured the Dinosaurs. 12:16, 12:31 & 15:40 This was the last time the Rod Puppet T.Rex would be standing. 15:56 & 16:46 Including Brachiosaurus. 19:15 Especially Centrosaurus. 31:13 The Extinction of the Dinosaurs is coming. 34:32💥 35:58 The Dinosaurs are dead. 36:05-36:20 A Tyrannosaurus Rex is dying. 36:24 Is that a Parasaurolophus in the background? 40:50 Yep, it’s a Parasaurolophus. 40:58-41:02 The Rex is dead. 43:40 & 45:28 I know what that is, it’s a Crocodile. Judging from its appearance it’s one of the 4 True Crocodiles in the Americas. My guess is that it’s either an American Crocodile or maybe a Morelet’s Crocodile. 49:02 He said the same thing on “We’re Back! A Dinosaur Story” as an animated character Captain Neweyes.

Confuciusornithids found in 1994 shows that modern birds lived at the same time. Confuciusornithids have no teeth and no tail. So Archaeopteryx is not a Transitional fossil. Confuciusornithids is a like a crow with wing claws and two tail feathers (no tail). Platypus has a beak and eage. It is not a bird. Birds have feathers.

Let me toss some of this word salad. First, platypus have beaks and eagles? Turtles have beaks and are not birds. Convergent evolution. Many nonavian Dinosaurs, like Ovaraptor and Triceratops, had beaks, too. Most Therapods and even some Orniviscian Dinos have feathers of one form or another. Small, active Therapods were highly feathered and warm-blooded, like birds. Dinosaurs are reptiles. Birds are Dinosaurs. Therefore, birds are reptiles.

@loganskiwyse7823

Science not assumptions. In fact, the platypus shows how wildly marsupials evolved without conflict with Mammels. Which further supports evolution. And yes, the science is as solid as it gets. With enough evidence to overfill the library of congress twice and have material falling out of the attic. That's 1,000s times more evidence scientifically than there is to support the theory of gravity. So, until you can disprove the far easier to challenge theory of gravity, you're not even close to being able to challenge evolution.
