are chickens descendants of the T=Rex?

Answer 1

No. Birds (including chickens) are descended from a common reptilian ancestor from which T. rex also evolved.

Answer 2

Considering the age of birds is well before T. Rex, it is possible that T. Rex may be descended from something that would be considered a primitive bird. It is likely that it shares a close common ancestor to the early birds. Their ancestors were thought to be coelurosaurs and they were likely feathered.

Answer 3

Yes, that's why T-rex tastes just like chicken.

Seriously, probably not. T rex became extinct. Whatever small dinosaurs were left eventually evolved into modern birds.

Answer 4

Nope. The bird line split from the dinosaurs before T. rex developed.

Answer 5

there sure are a lot of similarities arent there? t-rex had pretty scrawny arms and chickens have otherwise useless wings. their posture is similar if you look at a sideways picture of both of them next to each other. they both primarily use their mouths and beaks for eating and other things, like fighting or clucking and roaring to scare and attract other animals. we do know for a fact that chickens are descendants from a common reptillian ancestor that is somehow also connected to apes i think..

Answer 6

My theory is instead of trying to classify dinosaurs into one of the five branches of the animal kingdom that exists today, why don't we give them their own classification? Thus instead of there just being reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds, and last but not least mammals. Why don't we accept that one of the branches of the animal kingdom died out 65 million years ago? To answer your question it might be a possibility considering all life evolved from single celled amoebas.

Answer 7

Modern Aves descended from theropod dinosaurs. T-Rex was one of many theropods but modern Aves did not descend only from T-Rex. They both descended from theropods in general.

Answer 8

I wish that I had teachers as good-looking and succinct as Geolicious when I was in college. Sigh.
