Answer 1

The Cenozoic Era saw the rise of mammals and birds as the dominant terrestrial vertebrates. This era, which began approximately 66 million years ago and continues to the present, is often referred to as the "Age of Mammals." Following the mass extinction event that ended the Cretaceous Period, which saw the demise of the dinosaurs, mammals rapidly diversified and evolved into a wide variety of forms, leading to the modern fauna we see today. Additionally, flowering plants (angiosperms) also became increasingly dominant during this era, further shaping ecosystems and the evolution of various species.
