Long, long ago, before your grandparents or even your great grandparents were born, giant creatures roamed our planet. These were called dinosaurs! Dinosaurs were big, some even as tall as a five-story building. There were meat-eating dinos like Tyrannosaurus rex, and plant-eating ones like Brachiosaurus. Some, like Triceratops, had large horns on their heads. But do you know what happened to these giants? They disappeared! A big rock from space hit Earth and caused a lot of changes, making it difficult for dinosaurs to survive. This is how the rule of the dinosaurs ended. Interesting, isn't it?
