It's interesting to wonder what the world would be like if there were dinosaurs still alive today. Unfortunately, when we were kids we all learned how they died off in some mass extinction, never to be seen again on this Earth. But that might not be the case...
From hubpages.com:
It might have been depressing news for a ten-year-old, but by now most of us surely realize that it’s probably a good thing for humans that dinosaurs aren’t around anymore.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the calamity that occurred some 65 million years ago which caused the death of the dinosaurs, we mammals might never have gotten our shot. The prevalent theory is that the impact of a large object zooming in from space caused a global disaster that killed off anything bigger than a rabbit.
However, climate changes, geological upheavals and even widespread disease outbreaks have all been pointed out as possible causes. Whatever happened to them, sadly the dinosaurs are gone forever.
Then again . . .
Are Dinosaurs Still Alive?
Some cryptozoologists believe there are dinosaurs living today in remote parts of the world. They’re not talking about birds, and they don’t mean crocodilians. They’re talking about real, live dinosaurs.
It’s unclear how this could be possible, given the history of our planet, but the fact remains that local tribes in equatorial Africa know of large, frightening creatures living in the depths of the jungles. When researchers show the witnesses pictures of different animals, some living and some extinct, they routinely point to images of dinosaurs and claim that is what they saw.
How could tribesmen who know nothing of other animal species located in distant parts of their own continent have knowledge of dinosaurs that existed 65 million years ago unless they had really seen them before? Is it possible that in very remote and largely unexplored sections of the African jungles a few dinosaur species managed to avoid extinction?
Some researchers think there could be many prehistoric animals still around today, even though modern science tells us they are extinct. But if dinosaurs are still alive, that would be another class of amazing altogether!
Many expeditions have ventured into the Congo region searching for tangible evidence of these creatures, only to leave disappointed. But these creatures are well-known to locals, and there is plenty of eyewitness testimony to go by.
