I don't understand why the comments on so many National Geographic videos are so dumb - and so often entirely unrelated video. This was an interesting video on dinosaurs and their modern day relatives, so why am I seeing comments filled with vulgarity, religious views and the birth of Christ?

The Pyke-Mazzini correspondence is fake. The archeopteryx is fake, too. LMFAO

Wait so if dinosaurs (reptiles) really did evolve into birds (avians), then wouldn't all reptiles have sprouted feathers by now? O_o o_O

[trilbymurfin]

So with genetic research now just blend the DNA of a bird and that of a reptile in then we've got it
Like chicken and crocodile
