Dinosaurs were reptiles that existed throughout the Mesozoic Era, sometimes termed the Age of Reptiles, a time in Earth's history. Prehistoric dinosaurs initially emerged almost 200 million years ago. They ruled the earth for a very long time due to their enormous size and might. Their abrupt demise occurred approximately 65 million years ago, and they have never been seen again. Words that mean "terrible lizard" in Greek are where the English word dinosaur gets its start. Although dinosaurs were not lizards in nature, their look may nonetheless inspire genuine fear. The largest of these creatures measured roughly the same as most contemporary whales in size and weighed over ten times that of an adult elephant. Dinosaurs like brontosaurus and tyrannosaurus, which are well-known for their size, could grow to be 80 to 90 feet long. Not every dinosaur was enormous; in fact, several were just chicken- sized. What went wrong to make dinosaurs extinct is a mystery to this day. Changing global weather patterns is one possible explanation. The consensus is that the Cretaceous Period's final stages saw a sharp decline in temperature. Maybe the weather got too cold for the dinosaurs, what with their lack of fur and feathers and their size that prevented them from hibernating. Species with better defense mechanisms, including birds and mammals, fared better.
