Detailed explanation-2: -From the extinction of the dinosaurs until today, the Cenozoic Era is the age of mammals.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Cenozoic spans only about 65 million years, from the end of the Cretaceous Period and the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs to the present. The Cenozoic is sometimes called the Age of Mammals, because the largest land animals have been mammals during that time.
