Most mammals were much smaller than the dinosaurs and they were therefore better able to adapt to the conditions that brought the dinosaurs down. For example, a large dinosaur that ate vegetation would have died very soon if most vegetation was wiped out in a catastrophic event. Small mammals could still dig and forgage and make do with roots. It must have been horrific for everything alive at that time, but the very small creatures had the edge.

∙ 9y agoBecause reptiles dominated the Mesozoic era. It would have been impossible for more mammals to have evolved with dangerous dinosaurs. After a mass extinction of 20% of the species in the Mesozoic, then mammals flourished.

∙ 9y agoEarly man was created or evolved from simpler ape-like animals after the Mesozoic. The start of the Mesozoic was about 250 millions years ago, and marked the start of the dinosaurs and tiny mammals. The end of the Mesozoic was about 65 million years ago. Early man appeared between 2.5 million and 6 million years ago. That means that humans were not created or evolved until about 60 millions years after the Mesozoic.

∙ 13y agoThere were four main groups of mammals in the Mesozoic. They were as follows:
Multituberculates, which were rodent like mammals that primarily ate seeds. Some multituberculates from the Mesozoic include Albionbaataridae, Eobaatar, and Cimolodontidae.
Monotremes are egg laying mammals. Monotremes in the Mesozoic include Teinolophos, Kollikodon, and Steropodon.
Marsupials, or pouched mammals, of the Mesozoic included Didelphodon.
Placental mammals included Eomaia.

mammals
What was the era in which birds mammals and flowering plants appeared?
Mesozoic(:
Which era had the most mammals and birds?
The answer is Cenozoic in the beginning of this era there were few mammals and birds but longer down the road more animals appeared as the era continued.And so my answer would be Cenozoic but i am not completely sure.:(ANSWER ABOVE IS INCORRECTMesozoic is the correct answer small mammals evolved during the Mesozoic era, with reptiles, as did birds. The full potential and releasing of mammals came in the Cenozoic, when the mass extinction of 20% of the Mesozoic's species happened.
