    Well, technically. Chickens, turtles, alligators, crocodiles and more are descendants of prehistoric creatures, so some say that as they have dinosaur heritage, they are, for humourous purposes, dinosaurs.

    Edit: I have read your comment properly and have voluntarily taken my place as the dented head dude in the adjacent meme

      Only birds are. Crocodilians are archosaurs but not dinosaurs. Turtles are less related and other reptiles even less related. Mammals diverged before that, and amphibians arent even amniotes.

      But yeah birds are the only extant dinosaurs
