It’s good to suppose that if we did co-exist with dinosaurs we’d achieve this in concord, conserving them in giant, protected nationwide parks the place they might roam free from a lot human interference.
Nonetheless, if we’re being sincere it’s most probably we’d cultivate a handful of species, cram them into overcrowded, indoor environments, and farm them for his or her meat.
What dinosaurs would have tasted like is a query palaeontologists are sometimes requested, second solely to ‘what’s your favorite dinosaur’? We don’t know, and certain won’t ever know, the reply to this query, however we will make just a few educated guesses by evaluating them to animals alive right now.
As a rule of thumb, animals that eat vegetation are sometimes tastier than those who eat meat – that’s why we eat cows, pigs, and chickens, and never wolves, bears, or lions. It is because the animal fats within the weight-reduction plan of carnivores provides their meat a ‘gamey’, unappealing flavour. The meat from carnivores can be notoriously lean, stringy, and hard – to not point out usually riddled with parasites.
Based mostly on this precept, we will hazard a guess that the tastiest dinosaurs would have been large, grazing herbivores reminiscent of Edmontosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops. Sauropods would have been fairly tasty too, for a similar causes, and courtesy of their large measurement would have been able to feeding hundreds of individuals. Simply think about the quantity of steaks you may make from the backstrap of an Argentinosaurus!
To think about what this meat might need tasted like, we’d like solely suppose again to the final time we ate hen, turkey, duck, or goose. These tasty birds developed from dinosaurs, which implies they’re primarily modern-day dinosaurs. As members of the identical overarching group, it’s possible their meat tasted fairly comparable.
