My Pet Dinosaur

What would life be like if evolution had worked differently and humans co-existed with dinosaurs? Most mammals would not exist, so would dinosaurs be kept as pets?

Scientists have recently discovered that dinosaurs were not only more adaptable than previously thought, but some could have been warm-blooded and able to evolve. The programme asks what life would be like if evolution had worked differently and humans co-existed with dinosaurs. Most, if not all the mammals that we are familiar with today would not exist. As a result, would dinosaurs be kept as pets? Would we be hunting Hadrosaurs instead of elk and farming Protoceratops instead of pigs?
