Eh? Reptavians is a group that does not exist... :blank: And Tyrannosaurus rex did not evolve into a bird, so your answer is wrong.

lol i agree. wth are reptivans?

T.rex actually did evolve into birds. That quiz was easy for me! If you want a more challenging quiz, you need to put harder questions like What was the first dino discovered or what was the first dinosaur to be sent into space.

Spinoross, Rex did not evolve into birds, while it was a member of the coelosaur group, it was at the end of the tyrannosaurids, which did not evolve into birds.

T.Rex couldn't have evolved into a bird, it was from the Late Cretaceous! The tyrannosaur line isn't even maniraptoran!
And reptavian is not a valid term. For one thing, even if it was, only theropod dinosaurs would actually validly be included in it.
I am seriously dissapointed with this quiz.

Gotta agree with zoo and nelg here...

And spino; make sure to double reference. Just because Robert Bakker gets an artist to (incorrectly) draw an adult Tyrannosaurid like a vulture doesn't mean they were the direct descendants of birds... birds came from before the Maniraptionian line, starting somewhere in the Jurassic (see Archaeopteryx).

Sorry, I was very tired at the time and forgot to check the facts. And don't mock Bob Bakker that's not the reason I said that! And he actually believe it was a hunter/scavenger, he's not like Jack Horner.

Spino; I spent 2 months in a university, with Philip Currie and Aaron Van Der Reest. When I say that I don't take anything Robert Bakker says at face value, trust me, I have a reason to believe it. (Aaron, by the way, is a friend of mine going to the University here; Philip Currie teaches here). And no, Bakker doesn't believe it was a hunter/scavenger, as his latest papers state.

Well his Dinosaur Heresies has an illustration of T. rex going to confront a Triceratops and when predaotr confronts prey, its most likely hunting.

Jade Emperor - August 16, 2008 09:22 AM (GMT)
Not always. Looking and lizards and birds, a confrontation doesn't necessarily have anything to do with hunting (example, a snake meeting up with a lizard, or a hawk going against some crows).
