Probably like crocodiles, which is already a delicacy in some places. In fact, crocodiles are already dinosaurs, the only ones who were too lazy to evolve into anything.
crocodiles are already dinosaurs
Technically, chickens are dinosaurs. Crocodiles are not, though they are as old as the non-avian dinosaurs with little in the way of evolutionary change.

Why evolve more when they've already figured it all out?
To fly maybe. Not sure, it just seems biologically conservative when every other surviving dinosaur became birds, fish, and mammals.
Thank God crocodiles didn't learn to fly.
Why are you pretending that dragons don't exist?
Nah that would be tight, bring on our flying crocodile overlords
We'd salute them with a "crikey!"

A lot of dinosaurs died out, crocodiles are still around.
Checkmate evolution
Fish existed first, reptiles evolved from fish. Mammals evolved from reptiles alongside dinosaurs who also evolved from reptiles.
The only dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction 65 million years ago were birds.
Evolution isn't always a forward process. Hence how we have cetaceans and why crabs evolved into existence five separate times.
That doesn't have anything to do with the timeline of fish > reptiles > dinosaur evolution.
That's what I mean by a "forward process". Often people think evolution always goes that one way you describe.
Crocodiles are not dinosaurs, they are reptiles.
Both are reptiles. But the crocs and dinos are different lineages.
I dunno, I've read that dinosaurs were warm-blooded and didn't really correspond with any category we use to sort animals today.

Thanks Pipey.
