Life often took bizarre forms throughout our planet’s existence. Long before the dinosaurs, their less popular but no less fascinating ancestors were already waging a fierce struggle for a place in the sun.
At that time, there appeared so unusual body shapes that it’s difficult to believe they existed. This was the Paleozoic era. It ended with the most massive extinction in the Earth’s history. It wiped out 95% of marine species and at least 70% of terrestrial animals from the face of the planet.
However, a small number of animals managed to survive…The Mesozoic era is the period when dinosaurs prevailed on the planet. They were the most advanced survival machines, perfectly adapted to the environment. They ruled the planet for 160 million years. During this time, dinosaurs developed unique hunting and defense tools and ultra-precise sense organs. It seemed that they would forever dominate all living creatures. But one day, in an instant, something stopped them…
This is the complete history of how the most successful creatures on Earth evolved. From their ancestors and the emergence of these reptiles to their last days.
