Lol... you think dinosaurs were erased by a meteorite still... sill boy, that's a child's tale. Come up with a real solution next time you flap open that oil pit you call mouth.
The dinosaurs became extinct due to the fact that atmospheric pressure (less oxygen) did not allow for the continuation of such large beasts. Their breath would have been labored and they would have been easily hunted for their meat. Thus going extinct.

Of course, it's not as though the largest animal ever to existed is around today.
Blue whales and bambiraptors beg your pardon, Brewer.
The meteor impact account has the meteor impact crater. It also has the evidence of exogenous trace elements worldwide in the geological structures of that era, consistent with that impact.
But most dinosaurs weren't that large. Just because the ones beloved by children and natural history museums were huge doesn't mean they all were. But the all went extinct (except for birds), as did most huge mammals, as well. In any event, the "lower oxygen" hypothesis just pushes the question back one level: why did the oxygen level drop?
Pachylephausaurus
Compsognathus
Dinosaurs didn’t go extinct. In fact, some species are raised on farms and slaughtered, ending up as Thanksgiving dinner, in a bucket of fried drumsticks, or a foie gras terrine.
Maybe your confusion stems from the fact that dinosaurs are called birds nowadays.
Fascinating, however you do realise that at the end of the cretaceous period when the dinosaurs died out, ambient oxygen levels were at about 28% as opposed to 21% today don't you?
In other words you're talking horse shit.
We have the crater. We win.
Also, we have today what is widely believed to be the biggest animal which has ever existed. It's called a blue whale.
We may also have today the most stupid animal which has ever existed. It's called a fundie.
Procompsognathus . A little bigger than a rooster. Part of the massive extinction event.
There is no evidence to back up such a painfully stupid theory, especially given the earth changed to suddenly animals were flash-frozen with food still in their mouths and undigested food in their bellies.
Besides, if all species were so big that the atmosphere was making it difficult for them to breathe and (presumably) move, where do you get the idea that they were suddenly prey for other beasts of similar size? A creature large enough to take down a similarly large dino would be subject to the same breathing issues, no?
Tell your proctologist to pull out a better argument during your next exam. This one is as useless as the brain he had to push aside to extract it.
References to mouths and laboured breathing do not sit well coming from a slack jawed moron.
So, presumably, a massive meteorite impact = flapping of sill boy's oily mouth pit?
Whereas, atmospheric pressure (less oxygen) causing dinosaurs' extinction = Bible God?
Would not the same argument hold for elephants, rhinos, hippos??? Why are they not extinct? I would think an elephant would be far easier to hunt and kill (safely) than a Tyranosaurus Rex.
But hey....just show us the bone scraps of the feast they hunted and killed for meat. I am sure they pilled up all the bones nears their caves where they dwelled. You know, pilled up next to a fire pit. I would take that as good proof....

Lol... you think dinosaurs were erased by asphyxiation... silly boy, that's a child's tale. Come up with a real solution next time you flap open that oil pit you call mouth.
Hmm. This line of argument seems rather familiar. Now, where have I seen this before?
Oh, yeah . . .
