THE EVOLUTION OF DINASOURS

Traveling back 250 million years into the past would transport us to witness the dawn of dinosaurs, a time when these magnificent creatures began to emerge and dominate the Earth's landscapes. The prevailing theory suggests that dinosaurs evolved from a group of reptiles known as archosaurs, which were prevalent during the late Permian period. These archosaurs eventually split into two main lineages, with one leading to crocodiles and the other to dinosaurs. Over millions of years, dinosaurs diversified into thousands of species, each adapting unique characteristics and ecological niches. One crucial development was their acquisition of bipedalism, allowing them to walk on two legs and freeing their front limbs for various tasks such as hunting and defense.
