If Dinos Did Not Die... (Open syllable)

When dinos roamed around, the world was not like it is today. When we find their bones we can get some clues as to what it was like. We can think about how they would have looked and the way that they would have led their lives.

Do you wish that dinos were still here today? Ok. For a moment, let us think about what that would mean. If that was true there could be dinos on farms. We might even keep the small ones as pets.

And there would be wild dinos at the park. That would be fun. Just like how you might see a bird by the slide today, there would be dinos there! Birds come from dinos after all.

What if they were as smart as us and could use our bikes and cars. That would be a crazy sight to see. I hope they would be good drivers.

What if we had to shop side-by-side with dinos? Would they go crazy when there was a good sale? Some people do that.

Or would they just be like they were at the time and not fit in with our world? Yes, I think it would be like that. They would break things without even meaning to.

Life could not be like it is today. We would have to stop games when a dino went on the field. It would be funny, but it would not be safe. That dino could send a person flying with one whack of its tail!

And think about how much food they would need to eat! There is no way that we could grow enough food to keep a bunch of dinos alive. It is hard enough to grow food for all of the people on Earth.

And what would you do if you came home one day and found a dino in your house? That gives me chills to think about.

The whole world would be a mess! They would eat the trees and break the trucks. They would smash the shops and eat people all up. Dinos ruled their world. We mammals only got a chance to rule when the big dinos died out.

Yes, it is sad. They were so cool! But the best thing is that we are learning new things about dinos all of the time. In fact, we are now finding more dinos than ever before! We find about fifty new kinds of dinos each year at the moment!

Even if you are not out on dino digs, you can still learn a lot about these cool beasts and enjoy them for what they were.
