What did he mean by this?

W-why would you do that

Great looking bird.

Were they really dinosaurs or is that still a theory

Stop the Sacramento Antifa online fundraiser:

Birds still are dinosaurs. Avian dinosaurs.

sneks a shit

fuck off papi

Gorgeous face.

Yeah, confirmed and accepted in the evolutionary literature.

>The fossil record indicates that birds are the last surviving dinosaurs, termed avian dinosaurs, having evolved from feathered ancestors within the theropod group of saurischian dinosaurs

They were, two neat pieces of evidence are the existence of feather barb structures on their bones (so they had feathers) and in one accidental experiment there was a re-hydration of some fossilized blood cells that were recognized as indicating pregnancy by a bird expert (as the story went on some other website): abc.net.au/news/2016-03-16/pregnant-t-rex-discovery-sheds-light-on-evolution-of-egg-laying/7251466

snek step :(

It just seems like a really extreme evolution. Obviously flight aids in finding and killing small mammals which seemed plentiful after most of the dinosaurs died off, but lots of other creatures eat small animals so why did flight evolve exclusively in reptiles, except for like bats? Why didn't things like cats ever evolve to fly?

Bats
Also reptiles flew, then the dinosaurs flew after the flying reptile niche needed a filling.
Nature has specific roles and it doesn't care what genus fills them.

fucking statists

That's one sexy bird.

...

The zoo keeper is standing there like wtf, he's mesmerized

Evolution is random. Flight requires a series of conditions to be met, which makes it an overall harder trait to acquire.
Also, mammals are technically reptiles now.

It has some really nice eyelashes.
