The first mammals appeared on Earth about 220 million years ago at almost the same time as the first dinosaurs. For more than a half of their history mammals lived with dinosaurs. Dinosaurs quickly became larger and stronger and got the ruling position in the land ecosystem. Their dominance continued for more than 150 million years.

During this Age of Dinosaurs mammals remained small mouse-like creatures. But while the survival and evolution of small mammals seem compromised by the dominance of dinosaurs, the meteorite came from the outer solar system reaches the end of his journey ... and its arrival will change everything.

It's a global catastrophe that gave them their chance. By destroying the dinosaurs ... it saved mammals.
