Closest Living Relatives

WHAT are the CLOSEST LIVING RELATIVES of the Dinosaurs?

Many arguments can be made to what animal today is the closest relative to the ancient beasts from long ago.

The most likely animal is a bird. The bone structure is most similar to that of a dinosaur. A Chicken has been said to be the closest relative.

An Emu, an Australian flightless bird, is so close to dinosaurs that geneticists are trying to 'reverse engineer' them and bring out the dino dna. No joke. By 2020 or sooner, you may be able to buy an 'emusaur egg' and have a pet prehistoric critter.

Archaeologists

What is an archaeologist?

An archaeologist is a person who studies the remains of dinosaurs. They excavate and dig up dinosaur bones. Then put the bones together. This is how we know so much about the creatures that lived so long ago. When an archaeologist puts the bones together they do it like a puzzle seeing where different pieces fit. 

From this we can see how dinosaurs move, what they ate and pretty much everything about them.

What is a Dinosaur?

Hello again,

WHAT IS A DINOSAUR??

Well the actual translation to a dinosaur is "Terrible Lizard"!!!

A dinosaur is an animal that lived a long long long time ago. Millions of years ago in fact.
Dinosaurs are now extinct  so we can't see any today. However by looking at their bones we can guess what they looked like and what they did.

I find dinosaurs extremely interesting and unusual!!
