Equestrian "dinosaurs"

I was thinking about dinosaurs and it got me wondering.

 

If there were some ancient, huge, long extinct creatures in Equestria, what would they be like? They already have huge dragons, so what sorts of terrifying beings would have all died out?

obligatory response. You knew this was coming.

Yeah, according to B canon established in the comics, Equestria is Earth aeons after some appocalypse wipes out humans. Whether you want to accept that as canon or not is another thing entirely. Interesting enough, I recall seeing one of those after humans documentaries when that sort of thing was popular, which showcased a series of predictions of how New York would look after different periods of time have passed, and it ends with small horses who have evolved that way due to natural selection, or ponies if you will, eventually thriving in the absence of the human race.

 

I don't remember if that documentary was part of one of those popular series or if it was just a standalone thing, nor am I really sure how valid the reasoning behind it is, but it exists and it supports the reasoning of a comic based on a show where magical anthropomorphic horses are the dominant species, even if it doesn't accout for Pegasi, Unicorns and magic along with the rise of Greek inspired mythological creatures.

But we go extinct, we can't breed with them, and become this in 100,000 years!

They actually do have dinosaurs in Equestria's past, though.This is from main comic #24, where they travel back in time with Discord.

Of course, whether it aligns with our prehistoric history is an entirely different issue.

This thread appears to be some manner of random (but strangely enjoyable) nonsense, or something spammy of the sort. To prevent its complete closure due to the OFF-TOPIC and SPAMMY nature of several of the replies, it has been sentenced to the Forum Lounge section of Cloudsdale Colosseum after deliberation of several of the staff members.

At least you didn't lock it. I really hope you weren't expecting a serious and proven scientifically valid assessment of a brief B canon reference to a world full of magic ruled by horses of varyingly questionable nature possibly being the distant future of Earth, but if you feel that this discussion belongs in another board then c'est la vie.

Excuse me, but is that discord in a fez and a bowtie? disctor? the doc-cord? why have I not heard of this?
