# Dinosauria

Dinosauria - Classes / Subclasses

-----DINOSAUR PHYLOGENY-----

----- Data Structures  -----

--- Classes & SubClasses ---

Introduction:

In Biology, Dinosauria is a taxonomic class, of the phylum Chordata, of

the Kingdom Animalia.  Dinosauria has subclasses, and those have even more

subclasses.  As dinosaurs (parentClass) evolved, new species (subClasses)

inherited characteristics from their ancestors as well as changing, losing

or gaining other characteristics.

In Javascript, classes are objects that share inheritance patterns.  

Characteristics are inherited by subClasses, from their superClasses, and 

they can also be modified at the current class level.

===========================================================================

Overview:

In this lesson, you are provided with the original 1880's Dinosauria written 

into a Javascipt object using the functional instantiation pattern. Start by 

refactoring Dinosauria to use the pseudoclassical instantiation pattern, and 

update the structure tree to match the updated 1960's Dinosauria.  Next, do 

another refactor into the ES6 instantiation pattern..

Instructions:

Using pseudoclassical instantiation, create a phylogeny tree for dinosaurs that mimics the following outline.
