The Cretaceous extinction event of 65 million years ago wiped out the The non avian Dinosaurs. But other species not really related were wiped out too , marine reptiles and ammonites. The Ammonites were shelled mollusks related to both squid and octopuses died out as well and yet their closest relative The Nautilus which was very similar , somehow survived.
The climate after the initial disaster cooled down due ti the debris blocking the sunlight . This killed the plants and plant eating Dinos and the meat eating dinos followed suit. . But how is it that animals like frogs and toads , alligators, , snakes and turtles ect .... which were more primitive and had a lower body temperature then Dinos managed to survive this?
