What we learnt

These were just few of the unusual places and regions where the dinosaurs once lived and roamed freely. These prehistoric creatures went extinct with the evolution and passage of time.

Some believe they went extinct due to Asteroid Impact, other say it might be climate change or due to volcanic Activity.

Scientists are still continuing to investigate the exact causes and discover new evidences that might have forced the mighty creatures to go extinct.
