Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

It's not possible, unless somehow mammals and dinosaurs switched positions before KT.

KT stands for the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction 65 million years ago.

As for how they could switch I guess you could do a stronger Jurassic-Cretaceous extinction that wipes out a lot of dinos (and hopefully all the birds so that pterosaurs can still rule the skies), and lets mammals to take over.

Yes dude what hes trying to say is that they take better roles after the Jurassic-Cretaceous extinction, and then they go extinct instead of the dinos in the KT-Extinction. Get it?

The reason why dinosaurs went extinct was because they were the top dog in the Cretaceous, mammals were tiny and that's why they survived. The scenario I posted was a possible way for mammals to go extinct, but you will have to redo the entire Cretaceous dinosaurs too.

How about mammals just don't evolve, that would be easier.

You could do that by wiping out the therapsids in PT. The Permian-Triassic extinction, that is.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

How will they be wiped out? They were a pretty adaptable clade

Spinosaurus? Any scenario that dinosaurs will survive with the same asteroid will not have such large dinosaurs.

dont think any bigger species like tyranosaurus etc. have good future,more likely its smaller species like albertosaurus etc.
