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.

This was posted 5 years ago on yahoo questions-
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.
