What if Dinosaurs were our Pets?
Firstly, if Dinosaurs were our Pets, dogs and cats may pack their bags and move to a different planet.
Secondly, if Dinosaurs were our Pets, Dinosaurs have huge appetite, we may have to skip our dinner.
Thirdly, if Dinosaurs were our Pets, The entire family may have to work as a team in order to tie a rope around the Dinosaur's neck.
Fourthly, if Dinosaurs were our Pets, instead of taking the Dinosaur around for a walk, the other way round may become a reality.
Fifthly, if Dinosaurs were our Pets, thieves will definitely start looking for a new profession.
Lastly, some Dinosaurs are huge, if Dinosaurs were our Pets, they may need a bigger house than us.

What if Dinosaurs came back?
Firstly, if Dinosaurs came back, humans, along with their pet animals, may have to shift to a different planet.
Secondly, if Dinosaurs came back, Lion, the king of the jungle, might have to give up his crown.
Thirdly, if Dinosaurs came back, Giraffe, the tallest animal on Earth, will not look that tall anymore.
Fourthly, if Dinosaurs came back, Eagle, the King of the Sky, might have to find a place to hide.
Fifthly, if Dinosaurs came back, Dinosaurs may eat up everything, there will be severe scarcity of food.
Lastly, if Dinosaurs came back, paleontologists like scientists who specialize in studying fossils will be overjoyed.

Let's start our articles
Most people believe that an asteroid killed all dinosaurs, but that wasn't the only reason. Dinosaurs were already declining due to volcanism, far before the asteroid impact. Super volcanic eruptions spewed out lava, dust, soot and various gases into the atmosphere. This triggered a drastic climate change, slowly reducing the dinosaur count.
How do we know?
Scientists found a layer in rocks, called K-PG boundary. It is rich in Iridium. Iridium isn't found on earth's surface, but is abundant in asteroids, proving that an asteroid crashed to the earth. This caused large rocks to blast into the air and fall back as molten rocks. Huge tsunamis worsened the condition, eventually making dinosaurs extinct.
Dinosaur, (clade Dinosauria), the common name given to a group of reptiles, often very large, that first appeared roughly 245 million years ago (near the beginning of the Middle Triassic Epoch) and thrived worldwide for nearly 180 million years. Most died out by the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 66 million years ago, but many lines of evidence now show that one lineage evolved into birds about 155 million years ago.
The name dinosaur comes from the Greek words Dino (“terrible” or “fearfully great”) and soar (“reptile” or “lizard”). The English anatomist Richard Owen proposed the formal term Dinosauria in 1842 represented by large fossilized bones that had been unearthed at several locations in southern England during the early part of the 19th century. Owen recognized that these reptiles were far different from other known reptiles of the present and the past for three reasons: they were large yet obviously terrestrial, unlike the aquatic ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurus that were already known; they had five vertebrae in their hips, whereas most known reptiles have only two; and, rather than holding their limbs sprawled out to the side in the manner of lizards, dinosaurs held their limbs under the body in columnar fashion, like elephants and other large mammals.
If dinosaurs never went extinct, then they would be much smaller today because during that time, angiosperms were beginning to take over from gymnosperms. Now, as compared to gymnosperms, angiosperms are easier to digest & require a much smaller gut size. Thus, size, of herbivorous dinosaurs would have reduced and that would have gradually led to reduction in size of carnivorous dinosaurs as well.
Scientists also think that dinosaurs might have become more intelligent, because dinosaurs like trodden, who were considered smart and had a large brain compared tot heir body size, were beginning to evolve.
However, note that, humans were able to evolve because the impact of the asteroid killed the dinosaurs, triggered drastic changes in climatic conditions, which led to mammalian evolution and eventually human evolution. Thus, had the asteroid never crashed, we probably wouldn't have existed.
