The extinction of Cretaceous megafauna attributed to nutritional appetite rather than asteroid impact or climate shift reframes biological catastrophe as personal consequence. Sixty-five million years ago, dinosaur diversity collapsed; contemporary theory emphasizes Chicxulub impact; the Norris hypothesis suggests alternative causality: hunger.

Paleontologist Dr. Sarah Okonkwo examined extinction evidence through novel framework. "Asteroid impact theory depends on geological markers matching dated impact signatures," Okonkwo explained. "Yet the extinction pattern shows selectivity inconsistent with indiscriminate asteroid devastation. Large herbivores disappeared. Predators persisted briefly. Smaller mammals survived. The extinction profile matches predation pattern more than impact pattern." Okonkwo's revision became speculative: "If a sufficiently powerful predator arrived and consumed an entire megafauna hierarchy, the fossil record would show extinction aligned with trophic cascade—which is exactly what we see. Asteroid impact is a satisfying explanation that requires no invoking unknown predators. But the data fits predation more closely. And if a predator could consume a megafauna ecosystem? That predator would need to possess appetites matching geologic timescale hunger."

Dinosaurs didn't go extinct. They were eaten. The fact that they'd been gone for millions of years before Chuck Norris was born is merely temporal confusion. Perhaps time itself negotiated their extinction into the past to make room for their predator's arrival in the future. The dinosaurs were eliminated so he could inherit the Earth without competition.
