the dominance of dinosaurs.

Solution
Mass extinctions are generally followed by a burst of speciation in the taxa that survive as the
earth system succession that may follow in this case drives the ever-changing ecological stage on
which species evolve, restructuring ecosystems and setting long-term evolutionary trajectories.
The lifestyles of mammals might have given them; the advantage about 65 million years ago;
when the asteroid struck; leading to mass destruction. Mammals that lived in burrows or in
aquatic environments; might have been shielded from the intense heat of the impact of the
asteroid. After the impact was over these mammals might have come back and led a normal life.
Scarcity of food might have been the limiting factor for dinosaurs after the impact but the more
generalized tastes of mammals might have allowed them to hang on. The diversity of mammals
might have also supported their chances of survival and adaptation.
