    Wait, but didn’t a lot of them it turns out actually have feathers? Like regardless of taxonomy, with regards to phenotype, I thought we were able to inductively reason they had feathers ( possibly more like like down feathers ) and were even most closely related to birds.

      Yes, we have proof for quite a number and can conclude that there were even more, nobody really knows how many. Some go so far to speculate that all did.

      I think the meme is that the guy on the right sees it with phylogenetic lense and would also include birds into the reptilian group. I’m more fan of saying there are no reptiles at all but both views are equally valid
