      They were reptiles so cold blooded. Some were fish and some like pterodactyl reptiles that were getting like birds. Maybe this is one reason they were very vulnerable to changes in climate. Huamans are very tough so I hope we have a better chance, but we’re not quite cockroaches.

      No they were reptiles, so even though they could be huge they were still cold blooded. It was because they could move so fast that allowed them to survive so well, but the climate change that happened quite quickly was probably the cause of their extinction.
