[News Bot]

I could make something else out of that but it might be inappropriate

Wouldn't that lizard be classified AS a dinosaur?

Tell us something that we don't know...

Asteroid impact… massive dust debris generated… hangs around in atmosphere for several years (like a nuclear winter)… those with a big appetite cannot source enough to eat… the little guys survive on the dying big guys. Those that rely on solar heating are most in trouble unless they have access to an alternative source of heat. It would not take a lot of years of this to decimate populations. Any surviving remnants would flourish once things started to get back to normal as the competition and predators would be minimal. Besides which, think of all those cockroaches that would be running around… yum, yum!

I wonder what the worlds species would look like if that astroid never hit earth. I know humans would more then likely not be here. It is still fun to think about and try to envision.

The world would certainly be a better place and be in better shape if humans were not around. Sad but so true.
