When did the Palaeomastodon become extinct?
Asked by Wiki User
Triceratops died out 65.5 million years ago during the K-T Extinction Event. The K-T Extinction Event wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and 75% of all species in general. It is believed that the event was the result of a 6 mile wide asteroid that smashed into the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, leaving a 100 mile wide crater. So much dust and ash was launched into the atmosphere that sunlight was blocked for months or years. This caused plants to die, and thus the animals that ate them also died, including Triceratops.

How do you find Bigfoot?
Asked by Wiki User
You don't find the Yeti (the Bigfoot-like cryptid in the Himalayas). After you take a photo of the footprint above the monastery, bring it to Mr. Mews. He'll tell you it was a snowshoe and it's not worth revisiting.
But when you have proven the existence of the other three Cryptids (Nessie, Chupacabra, and the Jersey Devil), Mews will send you in pursuit of Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest.
Is the kraken a real thing?
Asked by Wiki User
I think yes. Why else would there be so many paintings and drawings of a colossal creature that looks like a squid taking down ships all the way to the depths. I honestly do not think they were lying when they painted them. So YES i think it does OR at one time did exist because it might be dead by now.
I also think yes and i even heared a story about it a couple years ago. it was about a squid with hooks on its tentacles and it was the as long as ten busses. they captured it and took it. they did research on it and it was only a baby one so to this day they don't know how big they get and some think they don't exist at all. But that story i heard got me to trust it was real. But we are not sure if it still does.
