        Birds are dinosaurs, and they’ve got feathers because dinosaurs had feathers. This “bird” has a teethed snout, not a beak, and the proportions of feet and feathered arms are not that of a recent bird. Feet are too muscular, arms are armsn not wings. It’s clearly depicting some raptor-like dinosaur according to the current knowledge about them.

            Good to know. Thank you for the opportunity to spill useless knowledge.

            By the way, did you know that before laurentian mammalian carnivores made it to South America, three meter high terror birds were the apex predators there?

            And that, birds being therapods and there existing more bird species than mammsluan species, the Age of Dinosaurs is actually still ungoing?
