    Dinosaurs ruled the earth for about 160 million years, and the types of dinosaurs were very complex. There were huge dinosaurs and petite dinosaurs. Huge dinosaurs, such as the Tyrannosaurus rex, had no natural predators.

    However, smaller dinosaurs still have many natural enemies in nature, such as prehistoric devil frogs and prehistoric pythons that will devour small dinosaurs.

    No, after archaeology, it was found that dinosaurs were the overlords of the earth at that time, and dinosaurs had no natural enemies at that time.

    Snakes are animals that we all know, and they often steal eggs and eat animals. Its predation method is to wrap the dinosaur eggs tightly around them, suffocate them, and finally swallow them whole.

    During the Jurassic period, dinosaurs were the most abundant among reptiles and dominated on land. Dinosaurs are the largest terrestrial animals in the history of the earth and can be divided into saurosaurs and ornithosaurs. Dragons can be further divided into vegetarian sauropods and carnivorous theropods.

    Reptiles live in the sea with ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, and pterodactyls fly through the air. The Lufeng Basin in Yunnan, China, is rich in the fauna of the Early Jurassic Lufengsaurus. In the fluvial-lacustrine sedimentary sediments of the Middle Jurassic Lower Shaximiao Formation in the Zigong area of the Sichuan Basin, hundreds of fossil individuals such as dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, and pterosaurs were excavated in the sand body with an area of 2,800 square meters, which were relatively well preserved.

    The Shangshaximiao Formation in the Sichuan Basin produces the mamenxisaur fauna. Terrestrial invertebrates include freshwater bivalves, gastropods, leaf-limbed and mesomorphs, as well as insects. Marine invertebrates include ammonites, arrows, foraminifera, radiolaria, bivalves, hexapoda, gastropods and brachiopods.

    Gymnosperms reached their peak in the Jurassic, with cycads, ginkgo biloba and pine and cypress occupying an important position, and only remnants of seed ferns are represented. True ferns are still thriving, and only a small number of grass types remain from the Paleozoic era of stone pine and horsetail.

    The creatures you're talking about evolved later.

    The mammals of the age of dinosaurs were: platypus, thorny anteater, echidna.

    Reptiles from the age of dinosaurs: snakes, lizards, crocodiles. Among them, crocodiles have been on Earth for about 100 million years. There are 23 species of crocodiles living today, including alligators, American crocodiles, and caimans, to name a few. Crocodiles in the Mesozoic era were generally larger than their current counterparts.

    Amphibians in the age of dinosaurs: frogs, toads, axolotls, earthworms.

    Dinosaurs contemporaneous sea bucket stupid marine animals can be roughly divided into the following three categories:

    Foraminifera, which are shelled single-celled organisms.

    Echinoderms, including starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers.

    A soft, shelled mollusk.

    Clams, snails, lobsters, crabs, and shrimp also survived the K-T event, eventually becoming the food of marine predators and the food of humans. Before the first terrestrial dinosaurs ran on the ground, sharks lived in the ocean for a long time. To this day, they are the most famous carnivores in the ocean.

    Today's eight-eyed eels and lampreys are very similar to the extinct armor fish and acorns. However, the most famous of marine life dating back to the Mesozoic era are coelacanths, which are the only survivors of aquatic flesh-finned animals. Flesh-finned fish are leaf-finned, bony fish.

    Of course, there are still many flesh-finned animals in the world, but they diverged long before the Mesozoic Era and became the ancestors of quadruped vertebrates.

    There are many creatures that have survived from the age of dinosaurs to the present, such as many birds, which are a branch of dinosaurs. There are also the lizards, crocodiles, snakes that we are familiar with, and these cold-blooded animals have also survived from that time to the present. There are also some insects, such as cockroaches, bees, lice.

    There are also some in the water, such as lobsters, turtles. Some mammals, such as platypus, and so on.

    The age of dinosaurs is a big era that dominates the earth, the Cretaceous is a heyday, of course, it is said that it is the heyday also means that it is about to decline, and I don't know whether it is a natural disaster or a "man" disaster, some people say that it is an asteroid that collides with the earth, and some people say that it is a ghost made by aliens, which cannot be verified. But the mainstream thought is that an asteroid collided with the Earth 65 million years ago, causing a sharp change in the Earth's climate.

    Because of the drastic changes in the climate at that time, the temperature dropped severely, and the earth entered an ice age, and a large number of organisms did not have enough food, and only some good creatures were fortunate to survive. Although it was a fatal impact, some of them were lucky enough to survive, including some aquatic creatures and some small creatures.

    For example, the well-known cockroach, which can be said to be a very annoying creature in our house, but it has existed longer than we humans. Think of him as having experienced the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. Because the fatal disaster did not have a great impact on this guy, because his vitality is extremely tenacious, a cockroach, if there is no head, it will not die at first, and the reason why he died is because there is no part to eat.

    There are also lice, bees, and they all survive to this day.

    There are also some avian creatures, such as chickens and birds, their bones are very similar to the dinosaurs at that time, and many people now say that the most dinosaur-like ones now are not only chickens? There is also the lizard, he looks like a dinosaur, but he is not related, many of the larger lizards have died, but the ones that survived at that time were all smaller, and now they are all over the world.
