      I live in New Zealand and haven’t found any dinosaurs. I think they all died.

          I didn’t! But I’ll be sure to check the other ones next time I visit.

        Nope, they’re all around you and me and everyone else. They just evolved into things that (usually) have wings. In terms of phylogeny, they’re dinosaurs.

          Well, maybe in theory. NZ has many unique birds not found anywhere else, but they are generally threatened or endangered. If you want to see them in the wild, generally you have to go to a very specific location.

          If I look outside, almost certainly all I’ll see are European dinosaurs.

          So maybe I should correct my statement to say they almost all died out.

        I hereby promise to give you back your dinosaurs, starting with a clone of the T-Rex.
