If dinosaurs were reptiles, then why do their skeletons look more like a mammel? Also, since they were suppose to be reptiles, did they have a forked tongue like so many reptiles have today?

Voice of Insanity asked:


Since the 90’s more and more dinosaurs are being found with impressions of feathers in the fossil. It seems a large number of dinosaurs actually had feathers. And more and more museums put feathers on their dinosaur models.
What do you think about this development? Did you like the old look dinosaurs had better or do you think they look prettier with feathers on them? Not all of them had feathers. At least an adult T. Rex had scales. The young ones had fluff like ******.

Why is the definition of dinosaurs not scientifically based?

David L asked:


It seems to me that if the definition of dinosaurs was scientifically based then elephants, hippopotamus, and possibly some other large land mamals would be classified as dinosaurs. Perhaps someone can help me understand what is the basis of the definition of dinosaurs. To say that extinction is one of the defining attributes is not a biological criteria.
