Can you comprehend exactly how long ago it has been since dinasaurs have been extinct and how long they roamed the earth?

Another "extinction event" is possible on this earth.

100,000 years is a blink of the eye, although to many it's a pretty darn long time.

No, I can't say I've ever heard of a crocodile.
Well they are a reptile very similar to an alligator. I'll see if I can rustle up a picture for you.

You can get alligators as a pet, but you have to shoot them 4 days after Christmas. Then you can turn them into things, like this handsome fellow.

My theory is yes the dinosaurs died due to enormous environmental changes
weather it be melting glaciers or volcanic eruptions

Aliens, yes they most likely have been observing the Earth but stealthily to protect themselves.
Well wouldn't you want to observe a new life form with caution
The dinosaurs were wiped out.

Yet birds, reptiles, fish, and mammals survived. Albeit with massive losses.

Why is this? Think about it. Think about how much the dinosaur probably had to eat to survive. The average African elephant has to eat 300lbs of food a day. Imagine what a Diplodocus or Brontosaurus, about 8 times larger, had to eat.

Suddenly, evolution favoured not the largest creatures, but those that could survive on what limited resources were about after and during the extinction events.
both possibly correct,the earth was spewing volcanos when the meteor hit

I just wondered because you mentioned 7 years of darkness. It's not like one decade the diansaurs were here and the next decade they weren't.

A 1,000 years is a drop in the bucket.
I'm just saying what the show said

those dinosaurs were at a huge disadvantage size gravity amount of consumption needed
That's all fine and dandy but not all dinosaurs were massive. This doesn't explain why the smaller ones died out too.

Is not one theory that there was a meteor that crashed here and it stirred up so much dust that it obscured the sun for an extended period of time.

or am I dreaming on that one?

if true then I can see where some animals might live and others die as not all animals can adapt.

It was an alien, all right. An small alien asteroid impacted the planet. Why else would we have the K-T layer at the same geological time all over the bloody globe?

I could be wrong, but I believe that birds are the closet descendants to diansaurs that you will find.
right on track
the birds have a skeletal structure similar to that of the dinosaurs and if you were to replace all the makings of the dinosaur with what would be best fitted for the environment you would come up with the bird
wings to anywhere

But if the meteor was as big as they say it was... I believe they think 8 miles across it would have been like several nuclear bombs going off... How can life survive? They said the world would have plunged into darkness for several years. Watching other documentaries, I can see how deep water species can survivor as they are not dependent on sunlight.

There are many, many causes for mass extinction, not just impact events like a meteor. And they're all way more likely than aliens.

False!
Science has shown that its impossible for the human brain to fully comprehend exaggerated unexperienceable, such as hundreds of millions of years ago.
Also, I liked that show too for a bit until the scientists started Theorizing the most crack pot ideas

I thought they didn't, they just evolved later on.
