All the dinosaur groups on this evogram, except the ornithischian dinosaurs, are theropods. Based on their shared features, scientists reasoned that perhaps the theropods were the ancestors of birds. When paleontologists built evolutionary trees to study the question, they were even more convinced. The birds are simply a twig on the dinosaurs' branch of the tree of life. As birds evolved from these theropod dinosaurs, many of their features were modified. However, it's important to remember that the animals were not "trying" to be birds in any sense. In fact, the more closely we look, the more obvious it is that the suite of features that characterize birds evolved through a complex series of steps and served different functions along the way. Take feathers for example, small theropods related to Compsognathus  probably evolved the first feathers. These short, hair-like feathers grew on their heads, necks, and bodies and provided insulation. The feathers seem to have had different color patterns as well, although whether these were for display, camouflage, species recognition, or another function is difficult to tell. 

There are many other similarities between birds and certain species of dinosaurs and raptors. These similarities make it almost crystal clear that birds could have easily come from this common ancestor]]> 2017-06-14 15:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/andrew_joya/rrcg38ne8ka0/wish/176424646
