Even 160 million years of
dinosaurs' kingdom did not
guarantee their survival. Life and
the Earth are very fragile. We
must preserve all life forms and
protect the environment.....
Suddenly, 65 million years ago
all dinosaurs died. Many other
groups of animals died too. But
no one is sure what exactly
happened.
Some scientists believe that one
or more meteorites collided with
the Earth and caused drastic
climate changes. Others believe
that the Earth's own volcanic
activities caused the extinction of
the dinosaurs..
