I feel like bears is the most obvious answer. In this scenario it would have started thousands of years ago. We’d have dozens/hundreds of breeds with different shapes,sizes and characteristics. What do you think would be the most interesting/cool?

    Large birds, so they could take us flying. It would solve transportation issues and by doing so, get rid of commutes, make housing more affordable due to ease of transport from more places and be so cool.

        Oh, are we doing realism in this hypothetical scenario that suggests bears is a good domestication option, lol?

        I’d probably go pterodactyl if no giant eagles or falcons are big enough to carry humans. I assume they are not, given other large birds like emus and cassowarys are land based.

        My school’s motto was “think bigger”

        Who said anything about just one bird? :D

        Having a school of birds lift you off to work on Halloween would be a thing I’d splurge on
