What were four legged mammal-like animals that survived the extinction of dinosaurs?

What event describes the extinction of all the dinosaurs and about half of the animals and plant species?
crustacious teriary extinction
Why have some animals not changed before the time of dinosaurs?
because not all the dinosaurs were killed some survived
Do scientist know that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago?
Actually many reptiles died out. Some marine animals survived like sharks. Almost everything died out. The survivors were mammals, insects, and other tiny creatures. Sorry T-rex.
What accounts for the dinosaurs' rise to dominance at the start of the Jurassic Period?
At the beginning of the Triassic period, a mass extinction wiped out most large land animals. The remaining animals quickly evolved to fill the empty niches, and one line led to the earliest dinosaurs. Another, less severe, mass extinction at the end of the Triassic eliminated the animals that were significant competition to the dinosaurs. With these animals out of the way, dinosaurs quickly diversified to fill the empty niches.
Did no acient animals survive?
Yes, some ancient animals survived the mass extinction primarily by living underground or underwater.
Where do bevers come from?
Beavers are mammals ... like us. They are descendants of the small animals that survived the dinosaurs.
What caused the mass extinction at the end of the cretaceous?
many believe this was due to a hugeasteroid (rocky mass that orbits the sun) striking earth- this threw huge amounts of dust and water vapor into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight- killing plants and animals (no dinosaurs survived)

What is the dying out of many types of animals at once called?
A mass extinction or extinction event. For instance the death of the dinosaurs is the Cretaceous-Tertiary event (or K-T event for short).
Are mosquitoes responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs?
Mosquitoes in modern time are know to pass parasites and deceases. This was also probably true in ancient times as well, maybe some kind of dinosaur malaria. However although this may have contributed to the deaths of individual dinosaurs (there is absolutely no evidence for this) it is not thought that this is a contributing factor in the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs. Most telling is the extinction of the large marine reptiles such as mosasaurs. Since they were completely aquatic it is unlikely that mosquitoes could have caused their extinction. Another clue is the lack of extinction of small animals. Mosquito born diseases would not have just attacked the larger species and leave most of the smaller ones alone. The most popular current theory suggest that at the end of the Cretaceous saw a great increase in volcanism. This would have changed the environment causing climate change and also would have "poisoned" the environment. The non-avian dinosaurs were living in a dying world. To make matters worse a 6 mile wide asteroid hit the Yucatan Peninsula in what is now Mexico. This caused global fires as rock ejected into orbit by the asteroid started to fall back to earth. It also caused a "nuclear winter" which made many species of plants to die out. This was just too much for dinosaurs and other animals to cope with. Mostly the only animals that survived this extinction were all under 10kg. They perhaps were animals that lived underground or where able to shelter away from the fires.
What was the world after death of dinosaurs like?
After the extinction of the dinosaurs, the mammals who survived began to flourish and evolve. They started off small, but evolved much larger and took over the Earth. Before the animals of the modern world, the planet was inhabited by their more primitive cousins. Smilodon (saber-toothed cat) and later, the Wooly Mammoth are some examples.
