Diapsids, Sauropsids, Synapsids. This is not the age of Mammals. There are 2 species of bird for every 1 species of Mammal. Despite catastrophic habitat distruction this is still The Age of Birds. When the next extinction event happens, Humans will expire and this will become the world of Birds. More exotic and dramatic than we can ever imagine.
@Empirical1980 Currently it is the age of mammals, why? Almost all of todays apex predators are mammals [Orcas, lions, bears], numerous doesnt mean its necesarely their age if they dont dominate, hell if it did mean that wed allways be in the age of the insects!
When the dinosaurs went extinct birds did dominate for a while [Birds like Titanis were apex predators].
The other things you said were true, hell mammals havent even dominated 50 million years yet, still i think weve got more time
@prjerry7 Birds stopped dominating when the earth heated up & jungles [especially in S. America] grew, the famous ''killer birds'' were built to dominate in plains, in jungles thickness its difficult for them to take advantage of their fast legs & high view due to the jungles thickness [its also difficult for birds of prey to hunt for the birds eye view]. Birds size limit is also not as large as mammals due to their hallow bones, lets just hope lizards dont decide to walk again ;D
They really give the wrong impression in this clip. Mammals were not competition for dinosaurs at the time, just a food source. Coelophysis would have been competing with non dinosaurian reptiles, which dominated the planet prior to dinosaurs, predators such as postosuchus were above coelphysis in the food chain. Mammals never entered into competing for dominance as they had only just started to appear, so were still small in a world which already had 2 other groups competing for dominance.
lol, to the contrary, mammals did not survive because they were SUPERIOR; they outlived the dinosaurs because they were INFERIOR, at least in size; their small size allowed them to hide from whatever caused the dinosaurs' extinction, then when there were no giant reptilians to oppress them, they rose to power.
I'd love to agree with you; indeed, i am a avid supported of all reptiles, and they are my favourite class of the order animalia, yet sadly, the dinosaurs were too big to survive the extinction; but hey, worry not! Reptiles still kick serious ass today! (Crocs, Komodos, you name it!!)
No. It´s still not sure which group the dinosaurs should be put in. It´s also very hard to gather all these animals to one order. As example the theropods (2 leged dinosaurs, mostly predators) are much more related to modern birds, while the sauropods (Long-necked plant-eaters) are more related to reptiles.
perhaps they are the common ancestor to both Birds and reptiles; sauropods and theropods were probably the example of evolution at work, splitting the dinosaurs into two distinct species.....
@9pluto In modern cladistic classification, a class never changes into another. You only create subclasses.
Hence, dinossaurs were a kind of reptile. birds are a kind of dinossaur. Therefore, birds are actually a kind of reptile. This does create a problem: how do you refer to what we commonly refer to reptiles today: lizzards, turtles and crocs? well, you can say either "non-mammalian and non-avian reptiles", or more generally, "basal reptiles", meaning they are closer to the original reptiles.
Great!
