At the end of the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago, the last dinosaurs roamed what is now the Western Interior of North America. Then, global catastrophe—in the form of a massive asteroid—ended their reign. All dinosaurs (except birds) disappeared forever.

Take a walk through time to explore our scientists' findings and answers to the questions that help us understand America's last dinosaurs, their lives, and their ultimate demise.
