All birds are also. So birds are basically a very special kind of dinosaur. And they're the only surviving dinosaurs after the end Cretaceous mass extinction event when the asteroid struck Earth.

Yeah, surprisingly, like the rannids or lizards that look a lot like dinosaurs, or at least what we think dinosaurs look like, they are actually not as closely related to dinosaurs as chicken or eagles or ravens or things like that.

So they were very abundant because dinosaurs were egg laying animals and they reproduced very rapidly so they could lay eggs two or maybe even three times per year. And they had clutch sizes of up to 30 eggs, maybe thousands of offspring. But the mortality rate of babies was extremely high as well because there were a lot of small raptors that were like hunting for baby dinosaurs.

So actually, that is also a very exciting story because we now have proof that Tyrannosaurus, for example, in fact, did hunt animals such as Triceratops. And we have scars on bones of Triceratops from Tyrannosaurus teeth. And we know that in the same region where we find Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, there's also a duck-billed dinosaur that's called Edmontosaurus. And that was also a very...

good food source for the for the meat-eating tyrannosaurus and we know from scratch marks from from bones from from long-necked dinosaurs that actually those were hunted by allosaurus which is a is an old ancestor to tyrannosaurus but did they fight for territory were they territorial like some animals are or or was it just we we can all get along here but when i'm hungry i might just eat you

Something You Should Know
The New Science of Sleeping, Breathing and Drinking & Where Did Dinosaurs Go?

Yeah, so we do have some proof that some dinosaurs, we cannot say this for sure for all the dinosaurs, but we know that some dinosaurs actually had interspecies fights about territories or mates during mating season. They were fighting each other like rams or even elephants or giraffes, the male ones. And whoever won the fight, they got to procreate with the female.

Yeah, so what we can do is we can nowadays we have modern technology, we can look at the inside of skulls of dinosaurs with CT or synchrotron scanning devices, and then we can measure the cavity inside of the skull where once the brain was and we can actually locate different areas that were dedicated for sense of smell or sense of hearing, things like that.
