Hello guys, here is a tough question for you: which species is the closest living relative of the dinosaur? I bet none of you can answer that. And no cheating, answer on yourself.

Question

Nope, take another try.

anonymous · Answer

shall I give the answer?

anonymous · Answer

Hint: Very rare species, found only in New Zealand. NOT a bird.

anonymous · Answer

Answer: The tuatara. Looks like a typical lizard, but is not one. In fact, it is a completely different species. Only living species of the separate group of reptiles known as Rhynchocephalia.

anonymous · Answer

not the chicken? :( but the chickens behave most like dinosaurs, with their fearsome roosting, appearance, etc.

anonymous · Answer

These reptiles lived alongside the dinosaurs millions of years ago. The rest of the species of the group Rhynchocephalia became extinct along with the dinosaurs.

At least, that's what I read in my encyclopedia, thought I'd share it with you.
