Question: If dinosaurs were alive now, would they kill us or would we be bffs?

It would be great to see some Dinosaurs live! I was actually thinking about this while watching Ice Age the other day. I think dinosaurs like sharks, would definitely try to kill us, mainly if those that are carnivorous (like the T-Rex). However, I think they would only do so if they run out of food…. If you look at us right now, we only eat things that can really fill us up like chicken, beef or fish – we would not eat ants or squirrels to fill our stomachs just because they don’t give us enough energy for the amount of time we would spend chasing them or rearing them! Hence, similarly, if dinosaurs had bigger animals to eat, they would treat us like annoying ants or squirrels!
