“Bats look and behave a whole lot differently than mice or foxes or elephants, but nobody would argue that they're not mammals.

Birds are just a weird group of dinosaurs that did the same thing.” ScienceEvolutionArgumentBatsBirdsDinosaursMammals Book:The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World Source: The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World
“After some of the largest volcanic eruptions in Earth history desecrated ecosystems, dinosaurs became more diverse, more abundant, and larger.
