Hmmm, that looks like a tasty chicken.

Current lizards are the distant cousins of chickens.

The ancestors of chickens were dinosaurs.

The ancestors of dinosaurs were ancient lizards.

Not quite. Lizards and dinosaurs are on separate branches of the Diapsid clade.

Tyrannosaurus Rex’s name means “tyrant lizard” and I understand they were direct ancestors of chickens.

Ergo, lizards were the ancestors of chickens.

Basilosaurus means "king lizard". It was in fact an early whale.

But isn't the fact that chickens reproduce faster than rabbits, and much faster than whales, an advantage when it comes to choosing a meal animal?
