    Here Is Some Theories I have.

    1. Extinction Of Dinosaurs
    2. Largested Meat Eater

    There is evidence to prove Tyrannosaurus was the Strongest and fastest, compared to the newly discovered Spinosaurus. Found In mainly Africa.
    It still remains unclear what caused the extinction of the Dinosaurs, Some say the Ice Age, and Some Say A Meteor.

    Tell me what you think.

    It was a meteor, like, a chunk from some other planet. And the largest meat eating dinosaur is.....me. Just kidding. probably t-rex or spinosarus.

    I remember when i was i kid i knew a lot about dinosaurs,but now i'm completely clueless about them.
    Anyway,i think it was the Ice Age or some kind of Disease that killed them all.
    I have another theory tough,but i really don't wanna say it out loud.

    Think of a food chain. I say a major plant source died out causing a reaction that killed all dinosaurs. Plant died--->plant eaters died--->carnivores dies.

    I'd agree with Renegade on this. If a specific plant dies out or is not replenished in the diet of the herbivores, then then the herbivores die out. Soon, most carnivores die out, which may be the reason why they may have a specific diet on most herbivores they eat. So, in a way, it's clearly not the Ice Age or the Meteor, or a Volcano that killed the dinosaurs really. But, still, we don't know what killed them. But the things most people say, are completely difficult to understand. So, no one knows on what killed them. End of story.

    The Problem with your theory. There is not any evidence to prove that a plant died out, and if there was were is it.

    Hmm... I rly think that... maybe the species had to compete against nature for food and life (such as Renegade said)
    And eventually alll their resources died out :[

    The dust from the meteor killed most of them and the ice age killed the rest.

    Thank you for the oppinion, but what I dont agree with is that if a meteor hit the earth and killed all but fish, then you telling me we are all related to fish? That is just a question nothing against you Xenon.

    Evolution. Think about how all the animals on this planet have eyes and noses and all the land animals have limbs, heads, and reproductive organs. Every living thing (except yeast) needs oxygen to live.

    i dont think we evolved from fish....cuz we evolved from monkies!!!! If we evolved from fish, we probably wouldn't have eyes in the front of our skull, and instead would have them on either side of our skull. Like a fish.

    I dont think monkies did, because the whole eyes on the side eyes on the front thing....and there were minature horses aroun during the dinosaurs age....they haven't changed that much.

    The amount of sheer ignorance in this thread shocks and dismays me >_>

    The dinosaurs were not killed in on single event. They died out over a few hundred thousand years. Although this is barely a second in terms of geological time, it still can't be explained by a single event. Most scientists believe (from fossil records, which blows the whole "god created humans after creating dinosaurs theory" and the rest of creationism with it, but this thread isn't about that so I'll stop there) that there may have been a meteor impact, but this was coupled with a massive basalt eruption causing large amounts of acid rain and drying of the landmasses (which were grouped at the equator around this time).

    This massive change in climate was noticeable from the few surviving plant fossils (but they do exist, although plant material doesn't fossilise anywhere near as well as bone does) which had fewer "holes" on the bottom of their leaves for taking in carbon dioxide meaning the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere had sky rocketed. This killed the plants, which killed the herbivores, which killed the carnivores.

    The only things really surviving were small rodent like creatures which is why mammals are the main animal group on the planet.

    So basically it was a large climatic shift that killed off the dinosaurs, kinda like what is happening now but I'd like to think we are a bit more prepared for it than the dinosaurs were (it is said that the only reason the dinosaurs died out is because they didn't have a space program xD).

    This is how evolution occurs. animals are born, they die out in some sort of Ice Age, Ice Age ends, new animals are born, and we start the entire process over again. This is how man kind is going to die out too.
