      You barely know a thing about them* They survived hundreds of millions of years as the dominant species and to this day are still alive and thriving as avians who aren’t ancestors of dinosaurs but are straight up mini dinosaurs.

      I’m not an expert but I know enough to know there’s a lot more out there.

        I think the word you’re looking for is descendants. Ancestors are the ones that come before.

        It’s interesting how dinosaurs went from largest animals on land to small creatures we factory farm

          It’s is a crazy switchup, they once terrorised the mammals and now the mammals have factory farmed them in the most brutal fashion possible. I really doubt it but I wonder if somehow we mess as humans mess up so bad or something happens that allows a new species to dominate again even if not intellectual but just physically.
