As the single supercontinent of Pangaea began to break apart, these animals evolved into an unbelievable array of shapes and sizes. Herbivores ranged from the heavily armored Ankylosaurus and the three-horned Triceratops to the iconic long-necked sauropods like Argentinosaurus, which stood as the largest land animals to ever walk the Earth. On the carnivorous side, agile theropods dominated, eventually giving rise to apex monsters like the Tyrannosaurus rex, which boasted a bite force capable of crushing bone. Thanks to tireless work by paleontologists unearthing fossils from the badlands of North America to the deserts of Patagonia and the freezing expanse of Antarctica, we now know these ancient reptiles were highly active, warm-blooded, and incredibly complex. Many species developed intricate crests, horns, and feathers for display, camouflage, or temperature regulation, proving that these animals were far closer to modern birds than to the sluggish, scaly lizards previously depicted in early scientific restorations. Ultimately, while non-avian dinosaurs perished roughly 66 million years ago, a specialized lineage of avian theropods survived the mass extinction, taking to the skies and allowing the legacy of the dinosaurs to continue to chirp and soar above us today.
