    Yeah actual answer is that only the non-avian dinosaurs died out (along with many other creatures, including some that folks mistake for dinos like pterodactyls and plesiosaurs).

    But birds are obviously still around today and they are true dinosaurs according to most biologists/zoologists/geneticists/etc.

    ‘Species’ is an astonishingly hard thing to define though so I’m not gonna touch that one.
