One example of a common day Saurischia, or more accurately a currently living direct descendent of this group, is the chicken.
As far as the Saurischia go, they represent a large group of dinosaur species. The fact is that long ago, <em><u>all non-avian members of this group went </u></em><em><u>extinct</u></em><em><u>.</u></em> The remaining members were avians, a word currently associated with birds. This in part provides an explanation for the fact that most of these remaining Saurischia later evolved into many of the common-day birds we see in the modern world.
Therefore, to give the most popular and clear example of what we can consider as a <u>member of the </u><u>Saurischia</u><u> that is still alive today</u>, we can use the common chicken. The chicken is a direct descendent of the dinosaurs and is <u>the animal that genetically is the closest in relation to </u><u>dinosaurs</u><u>. </u>
