Video narration
Kya dinosaur sachmuch poori tarah khatm ho gaye, ya aaj ka murga kuch aur kahani batata hai? Aksar hamare man mein unki ek hi tasveer aati hai: bahut bada, chipkali jaisa jaanwar. Lekin dinosaur sab ek jaise nahin the. Unke aakar alag-alag the, kuch vishal, kuch chhote; koi paudhe khata tha, to koi doosre jaanwaron ka shikaar karta tha. Yaani ek hi samooh mein kitni alag-alag shaklein thin! Lagbhag chhe karod saath laakh saal pehle, ek kshudragrah dharti se takraya. Uske baad, pakshiyon ko chhodkar, baaki dinosaur khatm ho gaye. To lagta hai, ab koi dinosaur bacha hi nahin. Lekin yahin kahani palatti hai: dinosauron ki ek shaakha pakshiyon ke roop mein bachi rahi. To kya ve poori tarah khatm hue? Nahin, aaj ke pakshi, murgon samet, unki zinda shaakha hain.
