"Professor Mike Benton of the University of Bristol, one of the co-authors of the research, said: "All the evidence shows that the dinosaurs, which had already been around, dominating terrestrial ecosystems for 150 million years, somehow lost the ability to speciate fast enough. This was likely to have contributed to their inability to recover from the environmental crisis caused by the impact.""

My theory is that leftism destroyed them. They left their defense solely up to the T-Rex and the only thing they can do is small arms.

I’ve been tilling my garden for the last two days. Going to till again in the morning. There is currently no evidence of “life”. You see, I wiped it out.. Boom!
