| Prehistoric Animals Dinosaurs are the
prehistoric animals, which ruled earth for nearly 150 million years and suddenly became
extinct at the end of the cretaceous period. The change of climate, paucity of food and
reduction of favourable areas for development were probably the factors for mass mortality and
extinction of these dinosaurs. The prehistoric animals such as triceratops, brontosaurs,
tyrannosaurus, deinotherium and woolly rhinoceros are on display.
