Am i the only one that dont beleave how dinosaurs died?

Question

there are far to many things that make me beleave that dinosaurs didnt die the way we are told.

why are there so many animals now that are so very alike to

so many dinosaurs.

Answer 1

Assuming you refer to the impact theory, there are still a number of researchers who either aren't convinced or think other factors were involved too. Gerta Keller has made a case that Chicxulub struck before the extinction and therefore wasn't responsible for it. J. David Archibald has maintained that extinction resulted from regression and volcanism, besides impact. Others have claimed evidence for a gradual mammalian takeover as the dinos died out. As for your second question: assuming you mean "very alike dinosaurs" in the sense of occupying similar ecologic niches, that was due to other animals, notably mammals, radiating into niches left vacant by dinosaur extinction.

Answer 2

y how do u think they died because enlighten me

Answer 3

There are many explanations for why dinosaurs disappeared.  Which particular theory are you concerned about?  Even if, assuming from your question that you believe that modern animals are directly descended from dinosaurs, you still need a reason for this to have happened so suddenly.

Along the same thought line that you have (apparently), I always call starlings dinosaur birds.  Even if they are small, they sure seem like dinosaurs to me, somehow.   I wonder if dinos also flocked in large masses and crapped on everything below like starlings and grackles sometimes do.

Answer 4

Have you heard the story of Noah's Ark? well they died in the the great flood

Answer 5

That is a good question.

People believe that a great rock hit the earth, killing off most life, including the dinosaurs.

What many fail to appreciate, is that the process of extinction for the larger species took well over 65 million years.

There might have been a series of events that provoked the loss of the larger beast and plant life. But my particular theory lies with a series of ice age movements, coupled with cyclic warming of the oceans, as well as volcanic eruptions that often took their toll of many local lifeforms.

Answer 6

So what's your theory, Professor?

Answer 7

What do you mean?

Most of the Earth's animal life was wiped out around the same time.

Answer 8

We aren't really sure just exactly how the dinosaurs died.

We do know there was a large meteoric impact at about

the time of their dissappearance from the fossil record.

We do know there was a large weather change at about that time.

We do have evidence that birds are directly related to some of the saurian types, so maybe some of the smaller types with feathers that helped them to regulate/conserve body heat survived the change in conditions.

As to animals with similar body types, that's just a matter of 'what works will be repeated'.
