Researchers from the University of Adelaide (Australia) recently published their research topic in the Journal of Science. This research shows that Theropods - giant carnivorous dinosaurs - have evolved into tiny birds today after more than 50 million years.

Scientists also said that only this dinosaur has evolved to adapt to the ever-changing living environment. More specifically, the average size of this dinosaur is 163kg, while today's birds are only 0.8kg.

Based on analyzes and comparisons, the researchers found that the evolution of this dinosaur is four times faster than other dinosaurs. These changes are most evident in feathers, clavicle and wings. These changes help them better adapt to living environments such as climbing trees and flying.

However, scientists have also confirmed that this change is not only happening one day or two. In order to adapt and survive and the natural environment, this dinosaur has undergone tens of millions of years of evolution and transformation.
