And so we can say that some dinosaurs were actually smarter than others. And we can say that some dinosaurs had a cerebration coefficient, which means the size of the brain relative to their body mass, that is comparable to modern birds and maybe even small mammals. So they were pretty smart.

I cannot say this for sure, but some dinosaurs were able to vocalize. And we know a very good example, for example, is Parasaurolophus, which is a herbivorous dinosaur with a long crest on its back of its head. And these crests, they were

hollow and they were connected to the nasal region so they could actually create sounds like it like blowing a horn or something like that so they could vocalize and other dinosaurs probably did the same so if you look at jurassic park they sound like lions or wolves or things like that but in reality they probably made noises more closely to ostriches or crows or things like that

That is correct. So the last non-avian dinosaurs, all the dinosaurs that are not birds, died out about 66 million years ago when this very large asteroid struck Earth close to the Yucatan Peninsula. And the first humanoid dinosaurs,

ancestors of humans they showed up in the fossil record maybe 300 000 years ago so there's a a gap of 65 million years in between those two events and so what happened what what what brought the end of dinosaurs Yeah, so 66 million years ago, there was an asteroid that struck Earth. And this asteroid was so massive that it created a huge earthquake. And it actually was so powerful and so large.

It's about the size of Manhattan. and this this big huge rock from space crashed into earth and it actually penetrated the crust so and it was so massive that it created tsunamis with a height of 3 000 feet and they traveled the entire globe and there were wildfires that were incredibly hot like a pizza oven and and they caused the

rocks to melt in the vicinity of the impact and actually rain glass for a couple of hours and maybe even days. And then because of the debris, there was ash in the atmosphere and that caused the atmosphere to go dark. And then a lot of the plants died and then there was a food shortage. And also the temperatures dropped massively because there was no sunshine, no sunlight. And then
