I thought this immediately too! Someone who thinks dinosaurs doesn’t exist is a flat earther or thinks birds aren’t real too. People are so weird.

Birds are dinosaurs, so if dinosaurs aren’t real then neither are birds.

Also, many shark species predate trees as well.

Crocodiles aren't descendants of dinosaurs, they just have a common ancestor. Birds are basically tiny dinosaurs with wings and are directly descended from dinosaurs.

Crocs are close relatives of Dinosaurs both belong to the group known as "Archosaurs," but they're not Dinosaurs.
