Background information

Dinosaurs were a diverse group of reptiles that dominated Earth for over 160 million years, from the Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) to the end of the Cretaceous period (66 million years ago). They evolved into a vast array of species, from small, feathered raptors to massive plant-eaters like Brachiosaurus and fearsome predators like Tyrannosaurus rex. Dinosaurs thrived in various environments, from dense forests to vast deserts, adapting to different climates and ecosystems.

Some dinosaurs walked on two legs, while others were quadrupedal. Many species, especially theropods, had feathers, linking them directly to modern birds. Scientists believe dinosaurs were highly social, some living in herds or caring for their young. Their reign ended with the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out most species except for birds. Today, fossils and ongoing research continue to reveal insights into their fascinating history and evolution.
