What are some mesozoic animals?

The Mesozoic era was a huge geological era that extends 251 to 65 million years ago for about 186 million years ago. It is preceded by Paleozoic and is followed by a Cellozoic. Mesozoic means "the life of a middle animal" because it concerns the middle era of animal life. With the exception of the beginning of the mesozoic, the ground was mostly warm and humid, with high sea level and continental arrangement significantly different from today's. The forests spread to high latitude in the north and south and today's polar ice caps were mostly missing. After the worst mass extinction in the history of the planet, the extinction of Permian-Triassic, which erased 98% of the seabed families and 70% of the genera of earthly vertebrates after the worst mass extinction. Before the extinction, the ancestors of the mammals, called Synapsids, were dominant earthly creatures, but only a few million years after the Mesozoic Plazich - especially Archosauria Plazich - began to quickly diversify and take over the ecosystems. This event is known as Triassic takeover.

Mesozoic animals included early dicynodontation, pig -size animals that are distant ancestors of mammals and were called reptiles similar to mammal, even if there are nothing like reptiles. Dicynodonts have evolved into a pig on oxy-university Kannemeyiidae, a storage mesozoic animals that were dominant herbivores throughout the triasic period, which is the beginning of the mesozoic. Other Mesozoic animals from the earlier period included Rhynchosaurs, small and abundant plasical herbivores with sharp beaks and early Archosaurians, which began to race in front of synapsides because of their faster progress towards erect limbs.

, of course, the dominant mesozoic animals were dinosaurs and their relatives, such as pterosaurs (winged reptiles) and Plesiosaurs, Ichthyosaurs and Mosasaur (naval reptiles). Dinosaurs appeared about 230 million years ago as little BIPedal predators and had a slow start as long as the Triassic-Jurassic Extinction event, which erased competitors such as Aetosaurs, Ornithosuchids, Phytosaurs and Rauisuchans, and left the world's wide party for dinosaur radiation and dominance. The famous group of dinosaurs that have traveled around the world for most mesozoics include Theopods (including all the predators of dinosaurs), armored dinosaurs such as ankylosaurus , divided the small former dinosaurs and size. Many other mesozoic animals need to be discovered, although we currently recognize many tens of thousands of species.
