have already been decreasing in population long before an asteroid crashed into the Earth, and killed them.</span> <span data-start-time='15083' data-end-time='29458'>Until now, it was thought that an asteroid, or meteorite, that hit the Earth 66 million years ago was the main reason the reptiles became extinct.</span> <span data-start-time='29458' data-end-time='39542'>But a new study finds that they may have already been decreasing in numbers millions of years before that.</span> <span data-start-time='39542' data-end-time='50875'>Dr. Manabu Sakamoto is a dinosaur expert a paleontologist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom. </span> <span data-start-time='50875' data-end-time='54271'>He led the research in the new study.</span> <span data-start-time='54271' data-end-time='59271'>“We were not expecting this result,” Sakamoto said.</span> <span data-start-time='59271' data-end-time='70292'>The effect of the asteroid hitting the Earth is still considered the main reason for the dinosaurs’ final disappearance, Sakamoto said. </span> <span data-start-time='70292' data-end-time='80313'>But, he added, “it is clear that they were already past their prime in an evolutionary sense.”</span> <span data-start-time='80313' data-end-time='92646'>In other words, Sakamoto means that dinosaurs were already starting to disappear from the land before the asteroid struck the Earth.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div class='control-buttons'><button title='Back' class='back' disabled='disabled'></button><button
