Study how dinosaurs lived, how they diversified, and dominated the planet for over one hundred fifty million years. Likewise, we will learn about other groups of reptiles, which we call the cousins of the dinosaurs. These were also very successful, lived during the same era, and dominated in the air and water. We refer to the Pterosaurs, Ichthyosaurs, Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs, and Pliosaurs. Finally, we will explore the possible causes of the extinction of these animals, which allowed another group called Mammals to develop and reach their current peak. Here, humans are one of the dominant species, but if they do not take care of the environment, they will disappear from the earth, just like the dinosaurs did.
