World

The Jurassic period had large conifer forests, warm shallow seas, and a very humid climate. Dinosaurs were very prominent during this time; the first flying brid like species also emerged. The oceans also had giant marine reptiles like the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, for example. On the other hand, early mammals were still small in comparison to the other gargantuan creatures of the prehistoric world.
