Dinosaurs were the Earthlings before the Earthlings.
You can tell something is a dinosaur because its last name ends in -us - tyrannosaurus, brontosaurus, triceratopsus. You can make something that isn't a dinosaur a dinosaur just by adding -us to it. And if you really want to make it a dinosaur, you add an -asaurus to it. A dogasaurus would be a dinosaur dog. Like that. (A catasaurus would be stupid, because what would it do? Dinosaurs were already lazy. Add a cat to it and you have double lazy.)
Then a big space rock fell on them and they all died. It fell on them when they were all in one place at DinoCon. DinoCon was when they would all get together and talk about dinosaur stuff, like how hot it was getting. Boy, they would kill for a little more ice. And what were these new little furry things they kept seeing running around like they owned the place? And how Tyrannosauruses were jerks. They kept eating everybody. Stop that.
And they all would dress up like other dinosaurs they liked.
The only ones that survived were the birds. Maybe nobody liked them and wouldn't invite them to the DinoCon. The birds were maybe the smelly kids of dinosaurs. So maybe they made the giant space rock fall on the other dinosaurs. Birds were sociopathic, smelly kid dinosaurs. If you come here, never trust them.
The lizards also survived, but I only have hypotheses as to why.
