Poll for video research purposes

edit:

so like, everyone? 🤣🤣

This was helpful; a friend wanted me to cover this as a video idea, but I had the sense it was an already well known fact.

thanks for settling an argument for me, yall 😘😘😘

I do

I saw that the t-rex had feathers

oblissvious

I knew it was a theory but never went down the rabbit hole

Lars Murdoch Kalsta

Yes, and I think the sickest thing about that is that they probably had avian lungs, which are absurdly efficient cuz they're able to continuously maximize concentration gradient

Had to look into it a while back when I started seeing dinosaur artwork with more and more feathers, and people referring to their pet chickens as little dinosaurs.

Eric

👍🏽

Eddie Yantis

The one dinosaur fact that Jurassic got right

fs77

Yup!

Jamie B.

Okay I need clarification as to whether you mean "just" birds now or that they're really just birds *now* as of reading this

Mac

I was literally having this conversation yesterday with a friend who sent me a meme about how scary birds are

Ken B.

I've been informed of that a few times.

Joe

This I did know because of the cooking show good eats 😅

William

My favorite little twist with this fact is that we grind up chicken meat and form it into shapes of dinosaurs to feed to our children (and let's face it, we eat a few ourselves as well).

Michael Morales

Almost since Jurassica Park, a good back then discovery channel had many programs about it

Tommygun79

Yesssssssss!!!!! What’s your favorite dinosaur? Mine is Parasaurolophus 🥰

Tim Parker

I heard that birds aren't real..

Daedalus

Flappy birds and floppy birds 💀😅

John Brouillet

Yeah, I tell people this all the time and it seems s to blow many people’s minds 😆

PistolsMcGee

I was under the impression that all birds are dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds. Like, I still see the phrase “non-avian dinosaurs” used.

Benson Kalahar

Do you think there's any sampling bias introduced by asking patrons? I'm super curious how the same question would perform on your story.

Lee Wade

Yea, Robert Bakker. They laughed at him and then a guy named Michael Crichton said: hmmm... Then a guy named Steven Spielberg said hmmm...

Lee Wade

The T-Rex, to me, always looked like a big chicken. Turns out its not far off from the truth.

Daedalus

Land dwelling reptiles. But yeah some dinosaurs are bird ancestors. What about the mammoths for example though? Haha. Heavy heavy birds 😆😆😆

Daedalus

The Archaeopteryx for sure :) but there are so many. Birds are a subgroup of dinosaurs though, common ancestors.

meltshow

Dinosaurs are birds, but birds aren’t real. It’s very hard to keep up.

I had a hard time accepting that fact for a while given the size of specimens like the brachiosaur. But then, you need to remember that many species were made extinct after the asteroid impact. Those that survived, evolved.

Beau Webb

I sure did! Evolutionary biology is one of my favorite areas of science 😊
