Dinosaurs existed because a group of archosaurs evolved to have legs directly underneath the body, a defining trait of the dinosaurs. They may have become so diverse because at the end of the Triassic, a mass extinction opened up many niches, and dinosaurs were able to evolve quickly enough to fill them.

Modern birds later evolved from dinosaurs.
