Which animal is most closely related to dinosaurs?
Tap your pick
Chickens (birds) are much more closely related to dinosaurs than monitor lizards. Birds are themselves dinosaurs: they descend directly from theropod dinosaurs (like the ancestors of T. rex). Fossils, skeletal features, and molecular evidence confirm this. Monitor lizards are lizards (squamates) and belong to another, more distantly related group of reptiles. They sometimes superficially resemble dinosaurs, but are evolutionarily more distant.
