Dinosaurs are one of the most successful groups of animals ever to have lived. Their 1) reign lasted from the late Triassic period (about 230 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous period (about 65 million years ago). The first evidence suggesting the 2) existence of dinosaurs was the discovery of their ancient footprints in rocks in the 19th century. Later, their fossilised skeletons were found in locations all around the world. Dinosaurs 3) evolved from more 4) primitive reptiles known as archosaurs. The smallest dinosaurs were no larger than a chicken, but the largest reached lengths of 150 feet. Dinosaurs suddenly became 5) extinct about 65 million years ago, along with many other species. The most widely- accepted 6) theory is that a large meteor hit the Earth causing a mass extinction 7) event. But some scientists believe climate change was to blame. The truth might always remain a 8) mystery.
