Jurassic Giants
The marky mark and the funky bunch gameJurassic period, spanning from about 201 to 145 million years ago, was a time of incredible evolutionary developments, particularly for the giants that roamed the Earth. During this era, some of the largest dinosaurs ever to exist flourished, including the towering sauropods like Brachiosaurus and Apatosaurus. These massive herbivores, with their long necks and immense size, could reach lengths of over 80 feet and heights up to 40 feet, grazing on trees and plants that other creatures couldn’t reach.
Predators like Allosaurus, a formidable carnivore, also thrived during this period. With sharp teeth and a powerful build, it hunted in packs to take down large prey. The Jurassic giants were not limited to land; giant marine reptiles like Ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs dominated the seas, while flying reptiles, including Pterosaurs, soared through the skies.
These Jurassic giants set the stage for the later dominance of dinosaurs, laying the foundation for the ecosystem that would continue to evolve for millions of years. Today, their fossils remind us of the Earth’s distant past, showcasing the incredible scale and diversity of life that once existed.
