T-rex did not succumb to an asteroid, to eruptions, or to climate change. T-rex vanished in a mass
extinction. A mass extinction is, by definition, a global economic collapse. Entire families of
interdependent species disappear suddenly like billions of dollars on a free-fall stock market. Cannibalism
ensures that no one remains alive. Let's look at this process in a little more detail in the next module.
