entranceOf generations of vertebrates to

Dinosaurs231.4 million years ago.They first appeared in the

Triassic periodAnd would be the dominant

vertebrates for 135 million years to come.

Today, we can only marvel at the remnants of their existence.

Unlike the dinosaurs and branch off into endless species, including
