Dinosaurs are related to these animals that still live today:

How Did They Evolve?

Scientists who study fossils are called this:
A) Paleontologist
B) Fossilentologist
C) Stonentologist
A) Paleontologist!
Paleontologists are scientists who study ancient life on Earth by examining fossils—preserved remains of plants, animals, and other organisms—to understand past environments, the evolution of life, and major extinction events. They conduct fieldwork to find fossils, use laboratory techniques to analyze them, and study their findings to reconstruct ancient ecosystems and answer questions about life's history.
