History of Arthropods

History of arthropods


Billions of years ago, an evolutionary explosion of life that had created animals had taken place. This explosion of life is called the Cambrian Explosion. In this period of time, life on earth is different compere to now. All life forms lives in water. Among those creatures are the trilobites (one of the branches of arthropods that extinct millions of years ago). These Trilobites had dominated the world for more than 250 million years before these species were extinct, which is longer than the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs had only dominated the world for 65 million years before the mass extinction. No matter how successful the trilobites are in survival, there is always a predator that they have to face. And that gruesome predator will be explained at the next pages.
