ELI5: how did a meteor wipe out all dinosaur life, but other species survived?
gpt
The end-Cretaceous extinction killed most but not all dinosaurs (the ancestors of modern birds survived), and it killed off many other forms of life too, including certain varieties of mammals, fish, reptiles, and mollusks.

It’s not that dinosaurs were singled out: the consequences of the asteroid impact were worst for large plant-eating land creatures and the large predators that hunted them, and less bad for small omnivores and carrion-eaters.

Every big category of animals on earth was affected, but the dinosaurs were especially vulnerable due to their size and diet.
