Scientists: Dinosaurs’ world domination after two mass extinctions

DINOSAURS fought back from two mass extinctions and waited up to 50 million years to achieve world domination, research revealed yesterday.

Experts say the giants took “at least 30 million years” to rule the planet and their rise to power came after they were twice nearly wiped out.

Professor Michael Benton and Steve Brusatte from the University of Bristol found that dinosaur domination was “a slow and complicated event, and driven by two mass extinctions”.
