What animals did dinosaurs evolve into?

Dinosaurs are a type of extinct reptiles living on the earth. They thrived on the earth for about 160 million years and suddenly became extinct 65 million years ago. According to research by scientists, dinosaurs may have evolved into modern birds.

Dinosaurs and birds have many things in common, such as thermoregulation, egg laying, feathers, and more. Research in recent years has shown that some features of dinosaurs are very similar to modern birds, such as the structure of the pelvis, the thermoregulatory system required for hatching, and the variety of feathers. Therefore, most scientists currently believe that modern birds are descendants of dinosaurs or a branch of dinosaurs.

It should be noted that although the dinosaurs have become extinct, their remains and fossils on the earth still provide important clues to our understanding of the earth's history and biological evolution.
