I know, I mean specifically that kind of small dinosaur is likely an ancestor of the modern chicken.
3 u/Curious_Viking89 29d ago Except that's a tyrannosaur chick. And tyrannosaurs aren't the ancestors of chickens 3 u/DizzyGlizzy029 29d ago Yeah, birds are basically dromarosauridae. Which means the tyrannosaur is related to the chicken, but not an ancestor if I remember correctly 1 u/Hc_Svnt_Dracons 29d ago edited 29d ago Slight correction, birds are not dromaeosaurs, they are avialae. They are related through being paraves. For comparison, cats and dogs are both a part of the carnivora clade. However, cats are felidae and dogs caninae. 3 u/DizzyGlizzy029 28d ago Ahh yes, your right. I see now. So dromarosauridae is related to birds (avialae) through paraves. Makes sense. I got confused, I thought sense paraves was in dromarosauridae. I just messed up.
