      We believe that a giant meteor collided with the Earth and caused our planet to change very rapidly, and the dinosaurs just couldn’t adapt to the new conditions fast enough.

      Luckily, some of the dinosaurs actually survived, and we now call them BIRDS! Yes, birds are technically dinosaurs!
