What Was The Purpose Of Dinosaurs?

The purpose of dinosaurs was probably the same as that of every other living creature - to stay alive as long as possible, get enough to eat and reproduce.

It's odd that we use the word "dinosaur" to describe something that is old-fashioned or doesn't work any more. Because dinosaurs are no longer here, we tend to think of them as some kind of evolutionary mistake or experiment. But these animals lived, and ruled the earth, for well over 160 million years. Modern humans are not even 1 million years old - more like 130, 000. We didn't even start reading and writing until about 6,000 years ago.

So we have to say that, whatever the dinosaurs were doing on earth, they lasted a lot longer than we have yet! There are some brilliant websites about dinosaurs: The one at
history/dinosaurs is quite basic but gives a lot of information in one space.
