Dinosaurs 101

Type #3, Dino Birds
During the Mesozoic era (about 252 to 66 million years ago) there wasn't just one "missing link" that connected dinosaurs and birds, but dozens of them! Small, feathered theropods that possessed a unique mixture of dinosaur and bird features. Exquisitely preserved feathered dinosaurs like Sinornithosaurus have recently been unearthed in China, prompting paleontologists to revise their opinions about bird (and dinosaur) evolution.
