There was a mass extinction around the time dinosaurs died, and the dinosaurs were not strong enough to continue. it is disputed as to the cause of the extinction.

Why do scientist think the dinosaurs went extinct?

One reason is that there were a lot of fossils in many layers of rock and then suddenly, there are a lot fewer. Also, there don't appear to be many dinosaurs alive today. So, they went extinct. Do you really mean "how" did the dinosaurs go extinct?


Are triceratops aggresive?

If Triceratops were aggressive, then not anymore, because the dinosaurs are extinct. This was a herbivorous (only plant eating) mammal. It is unclear if these species battled other dinosaurs, most likely only did if attacked because it had no reason to attack, as meat was not on his menu.


When did dinosaurs get extict?

Strong geological evidence suggests that dinosaurs were killed off by an asteroid impact 65 million years ago. The impact drastically altered their environment, and they were not able to cope, so they became extinct. However this isn't the only reason. Many groups of dinosaurs were already becoming extinct from other environmental changes, but this is considered the final event that finished them off.

Could humans have still come into existence along with dinos if something caused humans ancestors to be separated from the dinosaurs on different land masses and the KT event never happened?

Well, its possible, but not very likely. Mammals were only able to evolve into the dominant life forms because of the extinction of the dinosaurs. If there had been no K-T event, then dinosaurs would likely have kept right on living. They may or may not have gone extinct in the relatively minor extinctions since then. As to your condition with humans and dinosaurs being separated, that's not a likely scenario. Dinosaurs were successfully living on every continent on the planet, so I can't really think of a reason for them to go extinct on just one continent. (Would have had to be Africa, since that's where humans evolved)
