迄今为止，我们一共发现了大约1000多种的恐龙。恐龙是爬行动物的有鳞后裔，恐龙会产下有硬壳的蛋，站立时腿从身体下方垂直伸出，而不是像鳄鱼那样从身体两侧伸出，而且，至少有一些恐龙还长着羽毛。现在的鸟类和恐龙有很多特征是很相像的，所以我们也认为，鸟类是恐龙的后裔，鸟类就是曾经的恐龙。

Until now, people have found more than 1000 kinds of dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are the scaled descendants of reptiles. Dinosaurs lay hard shell eggs. When they stand, their legs stretch out vertically from below, rather than from both sides like crocodiles. Moreover, at least some dinosaurs have feathers. Now birds and dinosaurs have a lot of similar characteristics, so we also think that birds are the descendants of dinosaurs, birds were the dinosaurs.
