Modern-day dinosaurs still alive

 While dinosaurs as we typically think of them no longer exist, there are species that are considered to be "modern-day dinosaurs" due to their close evolutionary relationship with the ancient reptiles. These species are known as birds, and they are the closest living relatives of the dinosaurs.

Birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. Since then, they have undergone significant changes and have adapted to a wide range of environments, from the Arctic tundra to the tropical rainforest.

Today, there are over 10,000 species of birds, making them one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet. They are also some of the most well-studied animals, and scientists continue to learn new information about their behavior, biology, and evolution.

So while we don't have actual dinosaurs roaming the earth today, birds are a living testament to the remarkable evolutionary history of these fascinating creatures
