We have been hearing a lot about dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were among the largest animals that ever walked on Earth. About six and a half billion years ago, a huge meteorite hit the Earth. Due to which the existence of dinosaurs was erased. But what if we tell you that the descendants of dinosaurs are still alive on Earth. This may sound a bit strange but it is true. In fact, birds have been said to be descendants of dinosaurs. Let us know the complete news.
Are birds descendants of dinosaurs?
It is claimed by scientists that the birds present in the world are descendants of dinosaurs. That means dinosaurs have not become completely extinct from the world. The reason behind this is that dinosaurs and birds used to live together. But dinosaurs came to an end after the collision with a meteorite millions of years ago. But this bird survived. However, scientists have not yet provided any authentic proof in this regard. But he has given different theories to prove this. The kind of body structure of dinosaurs. The body structure of birds is also similar.
How did the birds survive?
When it is said that birds are descendants of dinosaurs, a question arises. How did they survive after the great cataclysm i.e. the asteroid hitting the Earth? No concrete reason has yet emerged for this. But different theories have been given by different scientists regarding this. Some believe that only those birds which did not have teeth could survive after the asteroid hit.
But the birds which had teeth did not survive. That is, after the asteroid hit the Earth, the atmosphere was able to keep only these birds alive and dinosaurs became extinct from the Earth after that incident. A completely correct theory for this has not yet emerged. All these theories have been told by scientists after research and study.
