Some herbivores might have survived as domesticated livestock.
Though if they tasted like chicken, all bets are off. We’d probably do to the poor bastards what we did to silphium.
It’d be worth it for the giant drumsticks right out of Flintstones.

If humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time, would they drive dinosaurs to extinction like humans did to almost every large land animal ever?

Dinosaurs had tons of different sizes and niches. We didn’t extinct literally all megafauna, bears, elk, ostriches (literal dinosaur!) still exist and are so common that they’re often nuisances.

Unless some of ‘em were smarter than us or they could out-reproduce our appetite, I would reckon so.

Velociraptors would be nice pets, instead of dogs.

Man I wanna see that youtube dog grooming lady bathe a velociraptor. Bet they would look very cute in a happy hoodie while being blow-dried 🥺

The Juasic Park movies were complete wrong with the Velociraptors size, they were only right that they were smart and social animals, hunting in groups like wolfs. It was a misunderstanding, because the paleontologist, asked by the size, said 6 ft, but they meant from the head to the tip of the tail, not the height of the animal, which were not bigger than a turkey.

Turkey-sized is totally fine with me, they make teeny tiny happy hoodies!

We already have pet velociraptors, they’re called chihuahuas.
