Claim: Dinosaurs are related to eagles.
Evidence: The fossil record , however , indicates that birds , which are now termed `` avian dinosaurs , '' are the modern descendants of feathered dinosaurs , having evolved from theropod ancestors during the Jurassic Period.
Eagle is a common name for many large birds of prey of the family Accipitridae ; it belongs to several groups of genera that are not necessarily closely related to each other.
