some birds because some smaller dinosaurs had evolved in to
them and they still exist today!i am not joking
compsugnathus had a similiar bone structure to Archeopteryx.
so compsugnathus could have evolved.
Many people would say to this that the crocodile or alligator is the closest thing to dinosaurs. This could be due to the fact that they are descended from creatures from prehistoric times that very closely resembled them (the name escapes me). However I would say the closest thing to modern day dinosaurs would be the Komodo Dragon (very large carnivorous lizard).
They were big, fat, ugly and not very bright they had thick skin and ate anything.
Now let me think
John Prescott fits the bill
Sorry to say my boss and the guys from Belgium and France who runs the works must be related to the crocodile last i saw the croc been round the longest

Birds are the direct descendents of dinosaurs. Check the link for the publication from 2005.
kamodo dragon i think, it could be my mother in law,
This might be surprising to you, but current thinking is that the nearest relatives of dinosaurs in today's world are the ordinary barnyard chickens we eat and that supply us with eggs.
reptiles.;
I believe sharks may be one.
Most any type of reptile.
