Dinosaurs themselves could not change the environment to their desires. 65 million years ago, when the asteroid crashed into the Earth, the result was the environment changing too drastically and quickly for the dinosaurs to be able to adapt to those changes. The plant-eaters were the first to suffer because plants were dying out due to the changed climate. With the plant-eaters gone, the meat-eaters wouldn't be able to find enough food to support themselves with, so they too died out.

How did the leopard become extinc?
No one knows for sure how the dinosaurs went extinct. However, some of the theories are a dramatic climate change, or a large meteorite impact.

If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.
What humans attack shark moreoften dinosaurs become extinct?
The dinosaurs were extinct long before humans appeared on the earth. The dinosaurs were probably killed off when a giant meteor hit the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The resulting debris from the impact that was put into the atmosphere, created conditions on earth, similar to a "nuclear winter". The dinosaurs could not cope with the sudden change to the earth's environment and died off. Humans fish for sharks, but, not enough to bring about their extinction. Sharks do attack humans, but, it's very rare and does not happen very often.
What is the potential damage to the environment if the Tonkin snub nosed monkey were to become extinct?
None. Sad loss but no appreciable change in the environment beyond that which caused the extinction.
How did dinosaurs change during the Cretaceous period?
No. If you count birds as dinosaurs, they still exist. If you don't, dinosaurs became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, not the beginning.
Did the cavemen kill the dinosaurs?
No, stupid! They became extinct, why don't we try PRESCHOOL for a change!
What does If You Do Not Change You Become Extinct mean?
Nature relies heavily on adaption to carry on existing. Life forms that are unable to adapt go extinct, because when the environment around them changes they cannot keep up with the change and survive.
How is adaptation relative to change over time?
Any organism that can't adapt to changes that occur over time in its' environment will become extinct.
What happens if a species no longer reproduces?
Extinction. When a species fails to adapt, it dies out.
What events took place that caused dinosaurs to become extinct?
We cannot say for sure, since there were no people around to take notes. One widely held theory was that the Earth was struck by a comet/ large meteor, resulting in a dramatic weather change- and that most dinosaurs could not adapt to the change.
