Oh. My. Noodles. I'm going to snap at somebody excitedly calling something a "basically, a living dinosaur" one day.
Sturgeons are not "living dinosaurs". Alligators and crocodiles are not "living dinosaurs". Not everything that lived in the periods thought of as "dinosaur times" was a dinosaur.

Birds are dinosaurs, though! So hummingbirds are "living dinosaurs". Pigeons are "living dinosaurs". Corvids are very intelligent "living dinosaurs".
People are going to push me to start angrily educating them.
