    To be fair, things can fossilise very quickly given ideal conditions. Still dinosaurs reigned for a lot more time than mammals and frankly nature is still feeling the loss in certain ways.

      Another fun fact (dino facts are the best facts): There are more “dinosaur” species alive today than there are mammal species.
      11,000 bird species alive today (approx)
      6,000 mammal species alive today (approx)

          Who is “they” and why do they have “all bats”? Also, what’s an all bat?

          On a more serious note, I didn’t know most bird species were bats. That’s wild.
