Re: Why did small dinos become extinct?

Philip, don't know what you consider a decent explanation.    There are five 
small dinos chirping in the cage behind me, but then, you did specify 
nonflying (grin), as if that probably makes a difference.

Mammals that survived the end Cretaceous extinction were no bigger than my 
budgies.   Some of these extinction events were not survived by any land 
animal more than so big.
