Did humans kill off the last dinosaur? [Greg Laden's Blog]
Friday, February 19, 2016 8:49
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Classic dinosaurs went extinct long before humans existed. But birds are dinosaurs, and birds still exist. So, no.
But birds are not classic dinosaurs mainly because they are not extinct (a tautology) and they are not big and scary. But some of them were.
One of the last (but not the last) big scary bird-dinosaur creatures may have gone extinct because humans ate them, or more likely, ate their eggs. In Australia. Perhaps.
Anyway, I wrote this new finding up here, at 10,000 birds.
