Plants and animals differ from one another because they have adapted to survive under specific conditions. If the conditions change permanently, the plants and animals must adapt to the change. The species that succeed in changing survive the change. Species that cannot change die out.

Dinosaurs are examples of extinct animals.

Try to determine what change caused the dinosaurs to become extinct.
