Abstract

Subjects: Evolutionary Biology.

Contributors: Darren K. Griffin, Denis M. Larkin, Rebecca E. O’Connor, Michael N. Romanov.

According to Britannica, dinosaurs are described as “Triceratops, contemporary birds, their most recent common ancestor and all of their descendants.” However, for biologists, it could be simpler to picture dinosaurs as reptiles with hind limbs held erect beneath the trunk, similar to how mammals’ hind limbs are held.
