It is commonly accepted that birds are descendants of dinosaurs. It is nice that not all dinosaurs died out.

Are there other animals, descendants of dinosaurs, that survived ? (Maybe not till our time, but survived the time when most dinosaurs died).

By the way, what made flying dinosaurs survive and not die like other dinosaurs?

The fact that you do not limit answers to extant decendents makes this very hard to answer. The taxonomic group "dinosaur" was on the earth for millions of years, so the answer will depend on where you start counting decendents. – KennyPeanuts Apr 17 '12 at 10:06
