Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Both are reptiles but lizards are not dinosaurs, as dinosaurs have their legs under their body (like birds) and other reptiles (like lizards) have them at their sides.
Birds are not reptiles. They are different taxonomic classes and have significant differences in physiology and genetics.
Birds are warm blooded, reptiles are cold blooded.
Birds have feathers and skin, reptiles have scales. Birds have two wings and two legs, reptiles have four legs.
Those are a few of the obvious differences.
Birds are phylogenetically reptiles and taxonomically not reptiles. Physical differences don't change that they evolved from diapsids. Phylogenetically, we're all just fish though
