Using state-of-the-art visual effects, this prequel to Walking with Dinosaurs shows an epic 300 million year war between creatures before the dinosaurs. The series draws on the knowledge of over 600 scientists and depicts Paleozoic history, from the Cambrian Period (530 million years ago) to the Early Triassic Period (248 million years ago). It was written and directed by Tim Haines. As with some of the other BBC specials, it was renamed in North America, where its title was Before the Dinosaurs: Walking with Monsters. It has also aired as a two-hour special on the Canadian and American Discovery Channel with yet another narrator. At the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2006 it won the Emmy Award in the

Did the daintree exist in the time of the dinosaurs?
Not sure what a "daintree" is, but coniferous trees, like pines shared the dinosaurs' world and indeed, were a major food source for them. During the last period, the Cretaceous, the hardwoods like oaks and beeches appeared.
In which era did dinosaurs appear and die out?
The fossil records for dinosaurs end during the late Cretaceous period. This means that their numbers dwindled so low as to not leave fossil evidence. Their true extinction most like followed quickly. This is picky, I admit, but since you asked what ERA ended the dinosaurs, I suppose you should have the answer. They died out at the end of the Mesozoic Era (which was, as noted above, also the end of the Cretaceous Period). However, many scientists no classify birds as dinosaurs, in which case they never fully became extinct.

What kind of dinosaurs live in the mesozoic era?
The Mesozoic era is divided into three periods Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. During the early Triassic, corals appeared. Seed plants dominated the land, in the northern hemisphere, conifers flourished. Glossopteris was the dominant southern hemisphere tree during the Triassic period. Many new dinosaurs appeared during the Jurassic period. Giant plant eating dinosaurs dominated the Earth. carnivores such as Allosaurus and Composognathus were plentiful. Many bird-like dinosaurs also thrived during this period. The Cretaceous period saw the heyday of the dinosaurs. Many new species of dinosaurs evolved during this period. New dinosaurs such as, the deadly t-rex and the extremely large Giganotosaurus appeared for the first time as did Triceratops and many others.

Did snakes have feet when dinosaurs were alive?
There were ancestors of snakes that had feet during the time of the dinosaurs. But the mere fact that they had feet meant that they would be considered snakes. Instead they were more like modern lizards. The first snakes appeared during the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs still dominated the earth.
