Birds don’t look like the scaly giants of Jurassic World. But fossils are revealing how these modern-day dinosaurs descended from ancient reptiles.

    My understanding is that this headline has been pretty much accepted as official by biologists for some time now, to the point where “non-avian dinosaurs” has become a common term for the extinct animals. So it’s totally correct to say things like “I’m just going to the park to feed the dinosaurs”
