What If The Dinosaurs Never Went Extinct? The Drakozoic Era: South America

Imagine a world still ruled by the ancient reptiles of the Mesozoic, in a timeline where the end-Cretaceous extinction never happened and mammals still lived in the shadows. How would life evolve differently? To answer this question, the Vividen Corporation split the timeline and prevented the asteroid from ever impacting Planet Earth, recording our observations and compiling them here for your viewing pleasure. If you’ve already seen the North American episode in this series, you know what’s up. But if not, welcome to the South American edition of the Drakozoic Era: the Age of Dragons. We hope your stay has a high survival rate.
