How about a forum for Dinosaurs? 
Dinosaurs were a diverse group of reptiles that lived on Earth during the Mesozoic Era, from about 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago. They are known for their large size, unique physical features, and dominance of the planet for millions of years.
The most widely accepted theory is that dinosaurs became extinct due to a catastrophic event, most likely an asteroid impact, around 65 million years ago. This event caused drastic changes in the Earth's climate and environment, leading to the extinction of most dinosaur species.
Fossil evidence is the main source of information about dinosaurs. This includes bones, footprints, and other preserved remains. Fossilized eggs, nests, and even stomach contents have also been found, providing further insight into the lives of dinosaurs.
Studying dinosaurs can help us better understand the history of life on Earth and the processes that have shaped our planet. It also allows us to gain insights into evolution, adaptation, and extinction. Additionally, the study of dinosaurs can inspire curiosity and fascination in people of all ages.
No, all known dinosaur species went extinct around 65 million years ago. However, some scientists argue that birds are descendants of dinosaurs, making them the only surviving lineage of these ancient creatures.
