What a strange bird!
Did you know that the velociraptor walked like a bird and even had feathers? And if you look closely at its claws, I'm sure you can find more comparisons!
Dinosaurs were a group of reptiles. But, they are more closely related to birds than to today's reptiles. So, the birds you see are actually living descendants of dinosaurs!
