    I’m currently on my taxonomy obsession. Does anyone want to hear about how birds are actually reptiles?

      Yes…yes I do. Their legs are all scales but they don’t shed. Pretty sure dinosaurs had feathers too.

        Had? They still do! Birds are literally dinosaurs. Theropods to be precise. The same clade as the iconic T-Rex.
