NOT 65 years: 65 MILLION years; and not "after": at. That is, the dinosaurs died out 65 million years AGO, after having been around oh, about 140 million years.
As to why that happened, most probably a massive body from deep space (comet? asteroid?) crashed into Earth and upset the ecological balance so that many types of animals died out.

There are no dinosaurs because a big metorite hit the earth 65 million years ago. It wiped out 80% of animails, including all dinosaurs.EDIT: One of the biggest misconceptions about dinosaurs is that they are extinct and there are none alive today.THIS IS WRONG. They are NOT extinct.A lot of types of dinosaur went extinct ~65 million years ago: Like the tyrannosaurs, the sauropods, ceratopsians, hadrosaurs.However one group did survive the mass extinction. And if just one group of dinosaurs suvives then technically the group dinosuaria has survivied.Modern day Birds are dinosaurs. Birds are maniraptorian theropod dinosaurs.There are approximately twice as many dinosaur (bird) species alive today than there are mammals! So they are doing quite well actually.
