Dinosaurs lived between 230 and 65 million years ago - long before we humans were around. But how did THEY come about? What creatures gave rise to the dinos we know best, the T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Triceratops and the rest?

MARK from Evolution Soup presents a fully-illustrated interview with MICHAEL HUDGINS of the University of Alberta, Canada on the fascinating origins of dinosaurs, going back to the Triassic period to look at the 'pseudosuchians' - crocodile-like creatures that ruled the world at that time and whose lineage gave way to the rise of dinosaurs.

Michael Hudgins is a systematics and evolution masters student studying paleontology at the University of Alberta under Dr. Corwin Sullivan.
