"Birds are older than Triceratops" is such an obvious thing to us but man is it crazy to say out loud.
Fun Bird fact: to really convey how much birds really are just dinosaurs, they appeared in the fossil record around 150 million years ago.
For comparison, ceratopsians, the group comprised of Triceratops and its relatives first appeared 140 million years ago.

There's just something badass about the fact that dinosaurs have ALWAYS been a part of and integral to the kickstart of early visual effects for any medium of animation.
