How would the world look today if dinosaurs had survived past the Mesozoic era?

Guido Landreth

Hey there world,

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if dinosaurs were still roaming around our earth? Well, let me tell you, it would be a wild and crazy ride.

First off, can you imagine walking down the street and seeing a T-Rex chasing after a wild turkey? Or trying to take the subway and having to wait for a herd of sauropods to cross the tracks? It would be like living in a Jurassic Park movie.

But let's get serious for a minute. If dinosaurs had survived past the Mesozoic era, our world would be drastically different. For one, the top predators would still be ruling the land. You can forget about cities and infrastructure, these guys would topple buildings and cause chaos.

But there would also be a unique balance in the ecosystem. With no humans around to interfere, the dinosaurs would continue to evolve and adapt to their environments. Who knows, maybe there would be aquatic dinosaurs that could breathe air and take over the oceans.

The discovery of fossils would also be greatly impacted. Instead of digging up ancient bones, we would be studying real-live creatures. Imagine paleontologists trying to capture a velociraptor for research, now that's some National Geographic material.

But of course, there would be some downsides. With such massive beast around, chances are a lot more people would become their prey. And with larger and more dangerous animals, our species may never have evolved to the point it is today.

But let's not focus on the negatives, let's imagine the possibilities. With dinos around, we would have to come up with new ways to interact with them and coexist. Maybe we would have dinosaur farms that people could visit, or specialized zoos that could house these behemoths.

So, there you have it. If dinosaurs had survived past the Mesozoic era, our world would be wild, untamed, and full of surprises. Who knows where our society would be today, but one thing is for sure, it would be one heck of a ride.

Until then, I'll just stick to watching Jurassic Park and dreaming of a world with big, scaly creatures.
