Mammals Vs. Dinos- Coelophysis Domination

On the Science Channel's "Mammals vs. Dinos," meet Coelophysis, a dinosaur who was a dominant force during the late Triassic. Coelophysis walked upright and was a skillful hunter, giving it an early evolutionary edge over its prey.

@9pluto In modern cladistic classification, a class never changes into another. You only create subclasses.

Hence, dinossaurs were a kind of reptile. birds are a kind of dinossaur. Therefore, birds are actually a kind of reptile. This does create a problem: how do you refer to what we commonly refer to reptiles today: lizzards, turtles and crocs? well, you can say either "non-mammalian and non-avian reptiles", or more generally, "basal reptiles", meaning they are closer to the original reptiles.

@prjerry7 Birds stopped dominating when the earth heated up & jungles [especially in S. America] grew, the famous ''killer birds'' were built to dominate in plains, in jungles thickness its difficult for them to take advantage of their fast legs & high view due to the jungles thickness [its also difficult for birds of prey to hunt for the birds eye view]. Birds size limit is also not as large as mammals due to their hallow bones, lets just hope lizards dont decide to walk again ;D

@Empirical1980 Currently it is the age of mammals, why? Almost all of todays apex predators are mammals [Orcas, lions, bears], numerous doesnt mean its necesarely their age if they dont dominate, hell if it did mean that wed allways be in the age of the insects!

When the dinosaurs went extinct birds did dominate for a while [Birds like Titanis were apex predators].

The other things you said were true, hell mammals havent even dominated 50 million years yet, still i think weve got more time

@ryanothedyno modern birds belong to the dinosaur family tree
