∙ 13y agoMany organisms survived the K-T Extinction Event. Plants that survived include types of conifers, flowering plants, ferns, mosses, lichens, one species of Ginkgo, etc. Animals that survived included small mammals, crocodillians, birds, lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, and many types of insects from a wide variety of groups, including ants, termites, and roaches, as well as fish, and so many more that I couldn't list them all. However, it is important to note that no fully terrestrial species of animals larger than a house cat are known to have survived.
