Dinosaurs are huge terrible lizards, though.
- chrisseaton 7y agoThis is not a true statement. Dinosaurs and lizards diverged at the lepidosaurs. A dinosaur is not a lizard. They share a common ancestor.
- jhbadger 7y agoThey aren't technically lizards, but closer to birds according to current knowledge (pedants will even say that cladistically, birds are dinosaurs) . But I love etymology despite the fact that neologisms often don't mean literally what the roots say.
