dinosaurs titanosaurs sauropod reptiles mammals

Titanosaurs were a unique group of sauropod dinosaurs that flourished by merging reptilian and mammalian traits. They were distributed worldwide, exhibited rapid growth rates, and were the largest land animals Earth has ever seen. Despite their long reign and diversity, their existence was halted by the asteroid impact that marked the end of the dinosaur age.
Main Points
- Diversity in sizeTitanosaurs were a diverse group of sauropod dinosaurs known for their vast size differences, from the largest sauropods on Earth to smaller species comparable in size to an African elephant.
- Rapid growth ratesUnlike their ancestors, titanosaurs displayed remarkably rapid growth rates, similar to those seen in mammals, reaching their enormous sizes within decades.
- Global dominanceTitanosaurs thrived worldwide due to their unique combination of reptilian and mammalian traits, suggesting they could have continued thriving if not for the asteroid impact.
