Dinosaurs are an extinct order of animals of the superorder dinosauria which first emerged some 230 million years BCE, evolving from reptiles. Dinosaurs were the dominant reptiles for most of the Mesozoic Era, dying out during the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event. Never the less, from a cladistic standpoint, dinosaurs still exist today in the form of birds.
