The Asteroid Wasn’t the Only Cause of Dinosaur Extinction
It’s widely known that a massive asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, but it wasn’t the sole factor in the extinction of the dinosaurs. Scientists now recognize that intense volcanic eruptions and drastic climate changes also contributed to their downfall. These combined events created a challenging environment that many species couldn’t survive. The asteroid also might have killed off dinos like the T-Rex but we’d see a rise of other now extinct animals like the sabretooth tiger and wooly mammoth.
