Dinosaurs ruled the Earth from between 243 and 233 to 66 million years ago where most of them, in most parts of the world, disappeared due to a mass extinction event.
History
Some non-avian dinosaurs survived at places like Dinosaur Island, Skartaris, Maple White Land, Atlantis and Monster Valley, and appeared time and time again to fight hero and villain alike, as real wild life, clones, robots resembling dinosaurs, or even space dinosaurs.
Other prehistoric animals, including other reptiles (pterosaurs, mosasaurs, ichthyosaurs, and plesiosaurs) and stem mammals (dimetrodons), while often popularly conceived of as dinosaurs, are not taxonomically classified as dinosaurs (but for cataloging purposes they may be referred to as such wherever they appear).
Most paleontologists regard modern birds as the only surviving dinosaurs, calling them avian dinosaurs or feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute the only known living dinosaurs, included in the group Dinosauria.
On Earth 27, dinosaurs evolved to possess sentience and even superpowers, living alongside primitive humans.
