Bad luck makes dinosaurs extinct

Asteroids have crashed into Earth at the time of the most vulnerable dinosaurs, leading to the elimination of this animal on the surface of the globe.

>>>Looking to find out the cause of extinction of the dinosaurs

Dr. Steve Brusatte of the University of Edinburgh (UK) said the rising sea levels and the volcanic activity of volcanoes pushed many species to the point of extinction.

They could have survived if the 'assassin' asteroid crashed into the earth early or late several million years, or rather the dinosaur had encountered extreme bad luck, according to a report on Biological Reviews.

To draw this conclusion, a group of 11 leading experts on dinosaurs in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom joined forces to study the extinction of this species 66 million years ago.

Dr. Brusatte said that if the 'assassin' asteroid hit the earth early or later than a few million years, dinosaurs still have a chance to survive to this day.

'If 5 million years earlier, the ecosystems at that time were stronger, allowing dinosaurs to change, and the foundation of the food chain was more plentiful, making them difficult to completely disappear , ' according to BBC. quoted British doctor.

And if there are a few million more years of preparation before the destruction, dinosaurs have a better chance of survival.
