Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Birds are considered modern reptiles because they evolved from theropod dinosaurs, making them part of the reptilian lineage. They differ from other reptiles in their thermal biology as they are endothermic (warm-blooded), unlike most reptiles which are ectothermic (cold-blooded). Birds are not representatives of the therapsids; mammals are considered the descendants of therapsids.
