Paleontologists have long determined that modern-day birds evolved from smaller members of the two-legged, meat-eating theropods, such as velociraptors. However, for many years, the only transitional fossil linking the two had been that of the archaeopteryx — a bird-dinosaur hybrid that lived on Earth about 150 million years ago, during the late Jurassic period.

    I love dinosaurs, and their evolution into birds. One theory I read was that when the earth was hit (if it was hit) with the asteroid, the flying dinosaurs were able to escape.
