💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦖🌍 What if the #asteroid missed?

What would #Earth be like if #dinosaurs survived? #Mammals would remain small, #Trex could have lost its arms entirely, and #troodontids like the Stenonychosaurus might have evolved human-like #intelligence, with #humans never appearing.

Harenadraco prima: The first #troodontid from the Upper #Cretaceous Baruungoyot Formation of #Mongolia
https://novataxa.blogspot.com/2024/07/harenadraco.html

"Among non-avian #dinosaurs, #troodontids are relatively rare but diverse. The #Nemegt Basin in the Mongolian #Gobi Desert, which incorporates three of the most fossiliferous beds in the world, is one such region with high #troodontid diversity and has also produced eight troodontid taxa until now."
