Compared to Eurasia and North and South America, Africa isn't particularly well-known for its dinosaurs--but the species that lived on this continent during the Mesozoic Era were among the fiercest on the planet. Here's a list of the 10 most important African dinosaurs, ranging from Aardonyx to Vulcanodon. http://dinosaurs.about.c...tp/African-Dinosaurs.htm There is a book on the same: Famous Dinosaurs of Africa: "African dinosaurs make a significant contribution to palaeontology, but they are often omitted from books in favour of better-known species like T. Rex. But their fossils have been discovered across the continent – from the Sahara Desert and the dusty plains of Kenya and Tanzania to the sandstone flats of the Karoo – and they are no less magnificent or fascinating than their 'celebrity' cousins. And are there dinosaurs roaming the vast forests of Congo waiting to be 'discovered'? http://www.mokelembembe.com/ http://normsplace.homest...iveafricandinosaurs.html http://www.skygaze.com/c.../strange/Dinosaurs.shtml

The seem to have forgotten 2 species: - Yattasaurus - solely responsible for deforesting Kenya to its current semi-arid form - chalbisaurus - a giant grass/tree eater whose excreta was sedimented into the oil fields being discovered in northern Kenya.

Hehe. Of course the same people could conveniently argue that the fossils are not millions of years old;-)

So how exactly did the dinosaurs become extinct? They claim an asteroid hit mother earth or something? How come no other animal vanished?

the Asteroid did not kill the dinosaurs itself but rather the climatic change caused by the asteroid killed of many many species... this is what is know as an "extinction level event". All over sudden many species disappear. in the case of the event 65 million years ago. Climatic changes may have killed of dinosaur food and land animals. you need to understand that the other by that time was heavily colonized by reptiles and were it not for this event mammals may have never flourished. You may wonder how possible it is for the climate to change so drastically to cause mass deaths.... if the amount of dust that raises from an asteroid hitting earth is large enough it would take months may be years to clear - this would cause lots of plant life to die and then consequently the animals that ate them and up the ladder. it would take about 10 million years for biodiversity to recover. our species itself survived a similar event - the toba event some 70k years ago.
