The Cretaceous period was about 120 million years ago. The lakes and rivers looked a lot like they do today. There were large trees and bushes and mountains. Many different animals lived at this time.
During this period, dinosaurs lived with animals and insects that were like ones we see today. Turtles and crocodile swam in the rivers as the dinosaurs ate plants and fish. Pterosaurs flew in the air with dragonflies that looked a lot like the ones we know. Under the bushes and rocks were cockroaches and beetles.
It’s interesting to think about these animals and insects. Why aren’t they extinct like the dinosaurs?
