   Mammals almost wiped out with the dinosa

   "Over 90 per cent of mammal species were wiped out by the same asteroid   
   that killed the dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period 66 million years ago,   
   significantly more than previously thought. A study by researchers at   
   the Milner Centre for Evolution at the University of Bath and published   
   in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, reviewed all mammal species   
   known from the end of the Cretaceous period in North America. Their   
   results showed that over 93 per cent became extinct across the   
   Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, but that they also recovered far   
   more quickly than previously thought."
