the dinosaurs extinction left the world open to be taken over by mammals

well life started in the ocean not on land so

or maybe we will train them like dogs

mhm i'll have the ribeye stegasaurus steak

Exactly

nice

I love physics, there are some prominent theories that life began on mars as it had a more hospitable atmosphere during the early development of the solar system, and due to a kind of ‘trampoline’ effect, rocks and shit splashed back and forth between earth and mars

I love using deep sea animals to base aliens on

bro i want a pet compsognathus

I want a Microraptor

little four winged birb dino

not necessarily. in an alternate universe, you can have (1) dinos never was wiped out and mammals never exist, or (2) dino never was wiped out but mammals still able to exist

idea: buy land in african safari,herd animals,make fence around animals,use animals as meat and other product,then profit

OCTOPUS ARE MY FAVOURITE. but also, *shudders* their tentacle freaked me out

mammals would never really need to evolve if the roles are already taken

the mammals would've stayed as small rodent-like creatures since the big ass dinos would've been more dominant on the planet, leaving no room for mammals to grow

Birds essentially are kinda dinosaurs in simple terms.

Vampire Squids

Birds are to dinosaurs what monotremes are to birds

I'd make a race of alien Vampire squids

amphibious octopi sounds terrifying

you don't know that, tho. in an alternate universe, it could happen

I love octopi and squids, they're awesome.

thats probably the name of low budget movie someone made

its a real animal

it's ink glows in the dark

bottom of the ocean

OR. some other events that killed off the bigger dinos, leaving medium-sized or smaller-sized dinos alive and thus some rooms for mammals to grow

that would be cool

HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR MOUTHS???? IT'S HORROR -- THOSE BEAKS

So pretty much the Good Dinosaur?

Imagine a world where it wasn't apes who super evolved but corvids like crows?

octopi can be amphibious, though, can they not? they can move around on land just fine

transgender frogs

Crows are human like in the way they can hold grudges

and Crows can solve complex puzzles

I think I read somewhere that they will either dry out or suffocate.

yeah but i mean octopi that could survive fully autonomous from water, like octopi that could live on land *and* in water

in an alternate universe, Good Dinosaur is a normal thing

if left on land for too long

but many tide pool octos can run to pockets of water to hunt
