I mean, giant armless predators and teethed birds with chimp-level intelligence were definitely possible if dinosaurs did not extinct. And if we go beyond dinosaurs we probably would get flightless pterosaurs the size of sauropods and filter-feeding sea lizards with sonar. But geology is still gonna happen and climate change will do the dinosaurs in like so many other living things before them. The Triassic alone had like 3 mass extinction events caused by climate change: the Permian-Triassic one that killed most mammal-relatives and let the reptiles take over, the mid-Triassic one that killed most of those reptiles and allowed the dinosaurs to take over, and a smaller Triassic-Jurassic one that killed off most of the larger non-dinosaur reptiles and made the dinosaurs became giants.

Whether or not the dinosaurs were already dying out at the time of the asteroid impact is actually a major, decades-long debate in paleontological circles. The headline is stupid but the actual story isn't.

Maybe the dinos wouldn't have dominated the earth anyway, maybe they would've been kind lovers to Gaia, unlike humans.

Milo and POTUS posted:The wrong birds died Want to know what's crazy? Almost every type of bird that exists now had a common ancestor that lived after the dinosaurs went extinct. The only types of modern birds that were around when dinosaurs still existed were still-flying ancestors of ostriches, emus, cassowaries and kiwis (except we only guessed this based on molecular studies of DNA and have not found their fossils yet), and chickens and ducks (the oldest modern bird fossil is a type of long-legged half-duck half-chicken from Europe). Also there's a controversial theory that Velociraptors and similar animals were not dinosaurs but flightless birds.

He means they first evolved flight and then evolved to be flightless (that's what a flightless bird is), and presumably also that they were more closely related to birds than to non-avian dinosaurs. e: I have heard this about certain -raptors but not the Velociraptor Phlegmish has a new favorite as of 15:06 on Nov 24, 2020 |

Ok, that makes sense. From what I've read we pretty much know some microraptors could fly. There were also raptor relatives that definitely couldn't yet had what appear to be full-on flight feathers. Potential explanations include fast runners using their wings to help with steering.
