And yes, they were the stars of their time. But the Mesozoic era was much more than just the stage for the giants of prehistoric times. In this blog article, I will take you on a journey through this fascinating era, which spanned around 186 million years, from the end of the Permian to the extinction of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous. We take a look at the different animal species that lived during this time, on land, in the water and in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-wuchs-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-wuchs-edited.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-wuchs-edited-711x400.jpg 711w, https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-wuchs-edited-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/en\/the-animals-of-the-mesozoic-era\/#Welcome_to_the_age_of_the_dinosaurs\" >Welcome to the age of the dinosaurs<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/en\/the-animals-of-the-mesozoic-era\/#The_Triassic_The_beginning_of_the_dinosaurs_and_the_legacy_of_the_Permian_period\" >The Triassic: The beginning of the dinosaurs and the legacy of the Permian period<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/en\/the-animals-of-the-mesozoic-era\/#The_Jurassic_pterosaurs_sauropods_and_the_first_prehistoric_bird\" >The Jurassic: pterosaurs, sauropods and the first prehistoric bird<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/en\/the-animals-of-the-mesozoic-era\/#The_Cretaceous_period_New_predators_flowering_plants_and_the_grand_finale\" >The Cretaceous period: New predators, flowering plants and the grand finale<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/en\/the-animals-of-the-mesozoic-era\/#And_then_came_the_asteroid_%E2%80%A6\" >And then came the asteroid \u2026<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/en\/the-animals-of-the-mesozoic-era\/#Conclusion_The_Mesozoic_era_was_more_than_just_dinosaurs\" >Conclusion: The Mesozoic era was more than just dinosaurs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Welcome_to_the_age_of_the_dinosaurs\"><\/span>Welcome to the age of the dinosaurs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mesozoic era is divided into three major sections: Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. Each of these periods brought forth new animals, while others disappeared. The earth was in a state of flux, geologically, climatically and biologically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Triassic_The_beginning_of_the_dinosaurs_and_the_legacy_of_the_Permian_period\"><\/span>The Triassic: The beginning of the dinosaurs and the legacy of the Permian period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the largest mass extinction in the history of the earth at the end of the Permian, life slowly recovered. The early Triassic was still dominated by primitive reptiles and so-called archosaurs, a group of animals that later gave rise to both dinosaurs and crocodiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first small dinosaurs appeared during this time, for example Eoraptor or Herrerasaurus. Early marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs (fish-like swimmers with long mouths) and nothosaurs also populated the oceans. The ancestors of pterosaurs began to evolve in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the reptiles, some synapsids, the \u2018mammalian ancestors\u2019, also survived from the Permian period. They would later develop into the first true mammals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Jurassic_pterosaurs_sauropods_and_the_first_prehistoric_bird\"><\/span>The Jurassic: pterosaurs, sauropods and the first prehistoric bird<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dinosaurs experienced their heyday in the Jurassic period. Giant herbivores such as Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus and Apatosaurus roamed the forests, while predatory dinosaurs such as Allosaurus lay in wait for prey. It was the time of the sauropods, the long-necked giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The skies also became livelier: pterosaurs such as Pteranodon or Rhamphorhynchus glided through the sky, but they were not birds, but a separate group of reptiles. The first known bird, Archaeopteryx, also appeared in the late Jurassic. It combined features of dinosaurs with feathers, a fascinating transitional creature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the sea, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs dominated the scene. Turtles, fish and the first octopuses were also widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-mesozoikum.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-mesozoikum.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-mesozoikum-556x400.jpg 556w, https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-mesozoikum-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.triopsgalaxy.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/dinosaurier-mesozoikum-910x654.jpg 910w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cretaceous_period_New_predators_flowering_plants_and_the_grand_finale\"><\/span>The Cretaceous period: New predators, flowering plants and the grand finale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs continued to evolve, some became larger, others smaller or more specialised. The famous Tyrannosaurus rex lived in this period, as did the horned Triceratops and the armoured Ankylosaurus. The fast Velociraptor also dates from this era, although in reality it was much smaller than Hollywood shows it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, birds became increasingly diverse and gradually replaced many pterosaurs. Meanwhile, large mosasaurs, lizard-like predators, lived in the water and took a new top position in the oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the first real mammals emerged, even if they were still small and inconspicuous at the time. The development of flowering plants towards the end of the Cretaceous period changed the entire ecosystem; it was a silent revolution that also influenced animal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_then_came_the_asteroid_%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>And then came the asteroid \u2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the Cretaceous period, around 66 million years ago, a dramatic turning point occurred: an asteroid struck and triggered a mass extinction. Most dinosaurs disappeared from the scene, as did many marine reptiles and pterosaurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But not all animals became extinct. Some species, including many birds (the descendants of dinosaurs) and small mammals, survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion_The_Mesozoic_era_was_more_than_just_dinosaurs\"><\/span>Conclusion: The Mesozoic era was more than just dinosaurs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you think of the Mesozoic era, remember: it was the age of great upheavals and fascinating creatures, on land, in the water and in the air. Dinosaurs may have been the best-known representatives, but they were not alone. Alongside them lived flying reptiles, fish-like hunters, the first birds, small mammals and many other animals whose descendants we still encounter today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mesozoic era shows us how life is constantly reinventing itself and how closely everything is connected. Who knows which fossils are still waiting to tell us more stories from this incredible time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of the age of dinosaurs, you probably think of giant lizards with sharp teeth and thunderous footsteps.
