  Do you secrete milk from mammary glands?

  Bc that’s like legit the only requirement. We set the bar low. Not like those avians.

  Let’s compromise and call them both fish.

  Is there anyone arguing against dinosaurs being birds anymore? This was still a relatively new thought to the general public when Jurassic Park came out, but IIRC, it was pretty well accepted among paleontologists even back then. More people try to badly argue that Pluto is a planet than try to say dinosaurs aren’t birds.

    I feel like revoking Pluto’s planet status was just uncalled for. Like, I doubt anyone consulted Pluto about its feelings on the matter. If anything we should’ve gotten it right the first time, instead of demoting the poor thing. Sorry, Pluto.

    This is the other way around. There are some who want to push back the definition of “bird” to include more dinosaurs via earlier divergence. There are even a few that argue that certain conventially non-avian dinosaurs are actually from the agreed bird lineage but converged back on a bipedal dinosaur shape.

    Is it not the other way around? Birds are dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds.

      I believe that, nowadays, it is generally accepted that dinosaurs, crocodilians and birds are all “archosaurs”.

      All the remaining dinosaurs are birds though…

    You do see it sometimes, where people complain that dinosaurs are no longer fearsome giant lizards because we found out that they might have feathers, on social media and places.

    It generally becomes obvious that they have never met a goose, chicken, or been at risk of swooping before.

  Aww, poor soyjak, are you upset nature doesn’t adhere to your imaginary grouping made up before you had as much knowledge?
